You could mount the RS-775 onto a 4:1 Banebots gearbox and then use AndyMark gears or belts to complete the reduction. It's theoretically more efficient to slow things down once than to slow down and then speed up.
Why specifically 16:1? Are you going for a particular free speed, or do you need a particular amount of torque?
