We've used 540 and 550 motors for rollers, and they both work ok, as long as you use them as intended. By "as intended," I mean not loading them to less than about 1/2 their no-load rpm except for very short periods of time.

The views I express here are mine, and mine alone, not those of my team, FIRST, or my previous teams.
