    That'd fall in favour of the scooter motors if power was the outright concern because the figures I ran suggest the CIM motors, with a 12.75:1 gearbox on them, are running close to their maximum. However, Track-tion used CIM motors as well (through a 17:1 gearbox) and whilst I wouldn't call that quick, obviously was able to move 95kg happily so perhaps my mathematics are off.

    The ESC will fit vertically onto the bulkhead but the CIM motors will obviously provide more space, the batteries on the other side. The weapon motor will go underneath wherever the batteries are.

    Yeah, the scooter motors are 6.5kg each and are big. 22.4x15x13cm big. I still have the original 600mmx300mm panel which I can still repurpose for this but mount the motors more inboard to prevent the gearboxes from becoming a prime target.
