Yeah, this motor usually needs to be geared down two or three times to get a
sufficient amount of torque. Most of the official sets seem to use pulleys
and rubber belts rather than gears (probably because these are much quieter
than gears) but gears would work just as well. I tend to use 1:27 or 1:81
reduction ratios when utilizing this motor.
