The 540, 545, and 550 all use the same mounting scheme, so all you should have to do is remove the motor that comes with the transmission, put the
pinion on the kit motors, then remount it with the screws used on the other.
If you can do something with external sprockets or gears though I would get the P60's instead. They are designed for the 545 and seem to be pretty solidly constructed (we're going with them this year).
Also, it doesn't look like Banebots has discontinued the 545 36mm series. The 16:1 and 20:1 gearboxes in the series are available, I believe they're just out of the higher ratio transmissions (25:1 and 100:1). Might want to check with them on how long they project it will be until they have more available.
