Having a 5:1 reduction from the Chiaphua be the INPUT to a gearbox designed for the Mabuchi motor as input is likely to produce a lot of small plastic shards (wear your goggles please).

Seriously. At 5:1 the Chiaphuas have as much torque as the window motors but have the speed of the drills in high gear. Believe me this is not likely to be a good thing.
