Brushless Pro's Please Help!

Since he is running (no pun intended) at jogging/hiking speeds only, why hasn't anyone suggested a MM 4600 combo? Normally, they would not be good for that size vehicle geared for ~35mph, but since we are talking about 10-15mph MAX, the load is greatly reduced. You'd have to use the largest spur and smallest pinion available to gear it low enough.

Another option to stay with more reasonable gearing is to use an outrunner motor, which typically has a lower rpm rating, yet has more than adequate torque.
