Default Re: Motor and gearbox ideas

What scale are you planning to build? I would buy some round gear motors(powerful!) and install one on each wheel. Each pair held together with a tube to create and axle housing. Depending on the size of wheel I would suggest using something in the 100rpm or less range. Probably around 50-60rpm would be plenty fast if your tires are 4-5" tall.
