By using a Versaplanetary with CIM output shaft and 3:1 stage you should be able to gear your chassis down suffciently( that's if gearing is actually the problem). It should be relatively simple as well, as you can literally attach the entire CIM+planetary assembly as you would a normal CIM. The most difficult bit being reducing the length of the CIM shaft.
