If you properly designed it they would be part of a geartrain that had plenty of torque for a Mecanum drive, your wording of "weren't good enough" blames the gearboxes, not the person that improperly used them. I apologize if I sound harsh but you need to go some research.

I suggest you go look at JVN's mechanical design calculator and learn how many options there truly are ratio wise between a motor and wheel.
