Changing gearing

Our team has been working on a kicker which uses a CIM motor connected to a toughbox. Upon completion, we found that it wasn't spinning fast enough to kick the ball more than 5 feet or so. Unfortunately, the toughbox uses a different shaft for the drive gear than for the others, so it isn't just a matter of swapping gears.
My question is, is there a way to change the gearing in a toughbox? Specifically, is there a hex-shaft available which will fit over the motor shaft in order to make the other gears fit on it?
