Can you post a view that is more descriptive of the internal structure?

I shouldn't criticise. I've never designed an entire drive system
Every DC electric motor is going to slow down under load (and proportional to load). There are some good papers in the whitepapers section that explain how motors work, it's very useful to know and takes all the guesswork out of working with them.

A number of teams have used 2/4 window motors for steering, with various amounts of reduction, with decent success.
