I like the less powerful ones for this because they will stall without breakage and that also helps with steering.

Thanks!!! So a few questions: if I got the high output would it make it slower? And the last ones you mentioned are the 12v?? So I couldn't use them on a 11 mah battery? And if you're running 4 of the motors like you said, that means four esc's right? And what's an encoder? I saw that they have an option to come with one. Is that the thing that connects to the esc and/or receiver?
