    Will they be geared down in any way?

    ...no offence meant, but you might want to look up what 'gearing down' is

    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...

    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.
