Fun fact, the $20 Harbor Freight cordless drill has a 550 motor in it. When I was building a robot on the cheap, I plunked a NeveRest motor in there with a very slight shaft modification (Dremelling a flat), and you could fit a 9015 in there the same way. And then I powered the whole robot using the battery I got for free.

(Full disclosure, I work for AndyMark that sells both NeveRest and 9015 motors.)
