I use x4 Talon SR http://www.fieldofarmortanks.com/product_p/foa-talonsr.htm(shameless plug!) on both FOA Tiger I <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXyqYxMlUvg> and Panzer IV<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJhG2f55sOA>. I have been running those tanks A LOT for the last few months. I have a 30Amp fuse on each motor. Never blown a fuse.
I should make notice that the Tiger I is about 140 lbs, and Pz.IV is about 110 lbs. I think weight is critical as to the amp draw to the motors. I would also assume that friction is also critical (i.e bushings, bearings, track design) As Steve noted above, I also talked to Mike (the designer of the Talon) and he doubts we go over 20 amps on normal operating conditions (continuous run for 39 min @ 4 mph, going over curbs, donuts on high grass, climbed small hills). He deals with ROBOTS that fight like Sumo Wrestlers. When two robots go against each others, it sure could spike your amp usage. That's what Talon's are built for!
