What is the part number of the FP motors you've been using?

What is the gear ratio of the planetary gearboxes you've been using?

Is there any additional gear reduction between the gearbox output shaft and the wheel (such as gears or chains or belts)

Is this a bottom-only design with both motors powering the same wheel, or do you have a top wheel and a bottom wheel, each powered by one motor?

What voltage are you applying to the motors (i.e. are you driving this at full applied voltage or a reduced voltage)?

At how fast are the wheel(s) spinning?
