Robert somewhere deep in the data base on this forum is an article I posted about sticking mabuchi magnets on the pole pieces of frame motors I cant find it but basicaly in years gone by I and others used to stick mabuchi 16d mags on the polepieces of pitman 196bs to increase the torque it works very well and I still use the method to revitalise atlas 206's and scaley powersledges.Jimmy in greece however stacks neos as a replacement for the original magnet this also works well.
On the subject of gearing I always used 3-1 with pitmans treated like this as oposed to thr 4-1 I used with out the added magnets , staights on our club track then were around 20 -25 ft
