Yes, I'm sure the 450 motors will be quite good, don't you think?

Will they be geared down in any way?
I'm sure an easy way to fix them down is with tape.
...no offence meant, but you might want to look up what 'gearing down' is
may i suggest cordless drill motors, yeah everyone uses them , but they are good , they are a similar size to the motors you suggested , but about twice the length, may i also sugest blue wheels to go with your order of drill motors
Nah, I think the 450 Tamiya motors are just fine with my robot. W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G also used hobby motors too.
are they geared in any way ?
We don't have them yet, but I'm sure they are. :wink:
80 by 56cm base? thats bigger than my heavyweights!
To be honest I'm sure they aren't, RC car type motors tend to come without gearing because they're normally only put into cars as replacements, with the gearing and transmission in the car chassis already...if you try to run a robot with electric motors that aren't geared, at best you'll crawl along with no power and at worst (and far more likely) you won't move at all...Originally Posted by Dalek_team
I really would advise getting some motors that are already geared - preferably some proper 'robot' motors like drills or even wiper motors, I can understand you want to recreate WYSIWYG but as your plans stand it's not going to be a very good design.
