hi all

i have been planning to make an axe bot powered by scooter motor for ages now but only just got to designing it properly. got a few questions:

what rpm does a 24v scooter motor have? (haven't actually bought my motor yet)
i was thinking of making a gear box for it, good plan?? and should i work from the desired axe head speed or the other way ie through the gear box ratio??

thanks guys alex
