: but at 64 to 1 from the motor the output shafts in low
: gear and another 3 to 1 on top of that, even with an 8
: inch wheel you will not be setting any speed records
: (unless of course you shift your transmissions which is
: tricky but possible with good design and good
: software). By the way, you will have something like
: 150 lbs available per motorized wheel at this ratio and
: the 8 inch wheel. You will have a difficult time
: getting that much traction on the carpet (imho).

Unless, of course, they added tank treads.

That would definitely be a sight to see!
