Just one comment: Your "combined motor stall current" figure seems to be purely determined by motor selection, as it doesn't vary with changes to internal battery resistance or circuit resistance. The current displayed on the "stall conditions" graph, on the other hand, does seem to be calculated from the relevant values. Is there any reason for this?

That stall current is the "spec" current at 12V. This is just like the motor performance data we are given, but instead for a single motor, it is an equivalent for multiple motors. It is based on Paul Copioli's calculation in his "Useful Calculations" spreadsheet.
