I believe that BOSCH makes a nice unit that 550 motor fit into, but be careful pressing the pinion as I think they are powdered metal and easy to crack. Milwaukee has a nice unit we used on 33 for the stinger back in 2012.
Electric screw drivers are easy to use a 1/4" driver to 3/8" or 1/2" socket to adapt to more "usual" FRC sized shafts.

Why would voltage of the motor matter?
Funny, I actually came across a BOSCH with a 9.6v RS550 in it, stock.
The ring gear is metal, first stage gears plastic. If I got two of them, I could swap the first stage plastic gears with metal ones. The overall reduction is 1:36 though, more reduction = more better for me. The immediate stuff I'm doing isn't for FRC application, but I might nudge our team towards using drill gearboxes if we can make them work...
