Armando...

-The CIM motor can be used for the toughbox that is provided in the kit. (Banebots have transmissions available for them as well)
-The two FP motors comes with a gearbox (it's black). Like others suggested you can use the AM planetary.
-The two Globe motors already have gearbox on them (the black part on it is a gearbox).
-Like Lynca pointed out above, the RS540 and RS550 Motor gearboxes can be found on the Banebot site.
-All rest of the motors have a gearbox with them as well.

If you need additional reductions, use sprockets and chains, pulleys and belts, or a custom made gearbox. I hope this helps. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your team soon.
