From experience, our team knows about the Van
Door motors. The motors were designed to move a large van door. This task requires high torque applied in a short period of time in one direction. These motors are more than capable of doing that. The problem is if you use the motors for driving, make sure that both motors are running forward. We broke approx. 6-8 motors, but the original motor running forward most of the time is still on our 2000 robot. Perhaps instead of driving you should think of a task similar to their original design. Also think of what Barbie motors were designed for.
