Re: Need advice on motors, gearboxes, and ESCs
Any motor can pull a ton of current if you stall it. If you are actually pulling 100A consistently you are doing something wrong.

I agree that Bags or Mini CIMs are your best option here. Everything else does not handle heat well(which for drive would be awful). However gear ratio again depends on your wheel size.
