Default Re: Axle suggestions?

As of right now i'm thinking i'll be trying some of these asian 12v 90 degree worm gearboxes
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08M6731...t_details&th=1

Shaft drive coupler to bolt flange adapter things should let me get wheels mounted.

With the 4" tires these run = 1 foot per revolution, 12v motor at 7.6v, i thought 90 rpm seemed like a good starting point? I may want to drop lower speed once i see how it looks and start load testing

I got one and my BIG concern with Wormgears doesn't look like it'll be an issue. This motor does have a short coast-down to stop before it locks the output, so hopefully i won't be blowing the teeth off the worms. Since it can slow gradually to reduce stress on gears and locks when stopped, I definately do NOT want to use an esc with brake.

My other concern is that this still doesn't look like a lot of motor to drag around a bunch of steel & dirt.
