I know enough of BL to know the relationship be and power. I'm leaning to a slower turning motor at higher voltage, but that depends on the physical space on the truck and the weight.

Just keep in mind that on-road applications typically have much more traction than off-road. This extra traction can actually be more harmful to a drivetrain than slipping in the dirt off-road.

Good point.
