Re: RS-550 and AndyMark am-0928 pinion
The banebot rs-550 shafts are smooth, and the FP shafts are slightly raised by a slight knurling done to the shaft(which is a nice feature to lock the gear on the shaft)

When we needed to use a fp motor in the past, with a BB gearbox, we used the BB gear and lightly filed the knurling on the FP motor.

To use the Rs-550 with a AM gearbox, you would need to 'enlarge' the shaft, or use some other method to attach the gear(locktite or setscrew?)

With the large selection of available motors, I'd try to match the motors to the gearboxes for reliability.
