Default mining truck and dozer conversion. first atempt.

I started to convert a small cat bulldozer of my sons to rc that has been put on hold for now and i'm working on converting a mining truck now.

I'll get some pictures when i can. I have the drive and steering sorted, i'm now working on the screw drive for the tipper i've got it all working but the motor i've used is the standard motor that came with a tamiya 1/10 rally car i bought years ago i asume it's a 27turn motor.

This motor does the job to test everything works but it's not powerful enough and it's far too fast. These are fairly small models so room is a bit tight one solution is a gru but there just isn't the room for it.

Does any one have any ideas of another motor i could use that is no bigger than a standard tamiya motor. I was thinking about a 80T crawler motor but not sure if this will still be to fast.
