Unless you are set on having more than a single speed, I use gearmotors like this one.

In my Wedico


And one in my Tamiya


Extremely small, powerful, and quiet. And cheap !!

Yeppers !! Speed is something close to the same as a GD reduced 3 spd in 2nd gear.

I suppose you could figure it out mathematically to see what works best for you. I can't do it like that. I'm one of those "feel good" guys. If it feels good, go for it!! Trial and error is my best friend
