No -ish.

I bought just the drill (about $15, without coupon because I couldn't wait) to power my Fight Night robot this summer. I then plopped a NeveRest motor (which is definitely a 550-sized motor) right in, with just a slight flat ground on the output shaft of the motor, one washer to take some room up inside, and a dab of CA glue to retain the drill gearbox pinion.
