Personaly I would not recommend any motor that does not have an attached gear-down mechanism already on it. If you do, you may end up paying more for parts needed to gear them down than of you just bought the right ones to begin with. You would also end up with a bulkier setup and a ton of unnessecary weight. Check out early examples on the first few tanks in the hobby. http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T001/Page3.html
