Traction Limited is the way to go.

You really don't want unlimited traction, because it will lead to stalled motors & or damaged carpet. Neither of these are good things.

If you don't worry about traction in your design, you will not be likely to realize the benefit of all that torque, but if your traction is too good, you'll find yourself tripping breakers and shredding carpet.

Just something to keep in mind.

P.J.
