Default Aircraft gearboxes?

DNG, on electric planes, here. I have several odd motors, from various attempts. I ran into WebOcalc, which seems fairly helpful for props/planes, but sometimes it wants a gear box, to swing some bigger props, to get the best efficiency.
Makes sense, sure, but who makes/sells these gearboxes? Searches have found one gearbox to fit one motor, lots of times, but I already have the motor (and it's never the one they are selling). They often don't even tell me what gear-ratio I would get.
Does anybody make gearboxes to fit most motors/props, with various gear-ratios available? Thanks.

Try Maxx Products. Two key things for fitting a gearbox are bolt pattern and motor shaft diameter.
