The pinion on the drill motor is hardened steel. You can take a 32 dp gear of a softer metal (we used brass) and run them in dry. Lube them up and you're good to go.
SPAM used this method on their 2000 and 2001 bots and we used it on our 2004 bot. Works great.
One word of advice: The number of teeth probably won't work right for calculating this ratio.
