Your best choice is an electric motor attatched right to the wheel. You don´t need different gears for running a bruder loader.

but a straight moto to wheel wouldn't that be either to fast or get really hot?

Well I forgot to mention the reduction. I think it is something between 1:100 and 1:200. if you have alook around you will come across a convert using it as this is the most common way of doing it. They pretty much got all.the same motors.

Mount the drive wheel to the servo output and mount the servo in the model. The servo stays intact as is other than making it continuous run by removing the pot drive from the center of the gear and gluing the pot in its center position. If you’re still not certain on how to make the servo continuous run do a search on the web for how to do it and you will figure it out. If that does not work buy one that is already converted by servo city.

ya i know how to make them run continuous. i just was trying to do it with two sevos instead of four. (one for each wheel for 4x4) i was thinking of making it 2x4 but i live in florida and tons of soft sand
