That's the orientation I was looking at.

With 5" wheels, the 60:24 3rd stage would give you speeds of 5.5 ft/s and 12.6 ft/s (probably ~4.5 and ~10.2 after accounting for 80% of theoretical). Current draw would be right under 40A at stall in low gear, which is ideal. Would have been near perfect for the 2012 game.

Playing with making aluminum plates to replace the housing, will be heavier but at least mounting will be easier.
