The brushed motors work great & only need one esc to run 4 motors. The rpm on 3s is about 110. The brushless ones each need an esc for each motor & travel 10-15% slower, more expensive too, a bit shorter in length.
Thanks Joe.
Good ideas / advice right there. I need a lot of power and low speed when grading or push with front blade or ripper in the rear. Have to do some torque test, it's a bit of dozer power needed to the wheels. I had one idea that required the hood to be extended a bit in length. a two speed gearbox and chain drive between the wheels like the real ones. well back at it and we see.....
