I don't remember exactly how I decided on this motor but I think I was looking at the speed in RCLogger's ADT and these were pretty close. I plan to run these on 13.2v batteries.

No, these are too small for Richard's large&heavy ADT.

Richard, you may well be right and you have 10% extra speed with 13.2V
As you already have the motors, I would suggest to just bolt/tie three or four (or all...) of them onto a wooden board and see how fast they go and decide whether this is acceptable to you.

Just my $0.02, hope you don't mind - for me it's always very annoying to have to change motors and I try to test as much as I can before I commit to a motor and mounting hardware.

Cheers
Jens
