LOL, I will leave it to Chris answer more technically, but I can tell you, I
watched him motor that beast up with a few different motors, and gearing
selections, and I was blown away. With a good torquey (yeah, its a word) motor
and no gearing, that "beast" flew across the room, its feet tapping along the

made hitting the ground in rapid fire was a bit chilling. Sort of like a mad
scientist gone Lego. Giggle.
