Nice find Steve. I would have used those in the s-tank.
The S-tank starter motor setup did work, but the rpm was 400% more than needed.
To slow the tank down, I had to run the motors on 12v and at 20 - 25%
throttle. That made the motors work inefficiently hard and build up huge
amounts of heat. By the end of the last battle, the motors overheated.
My fix is to eventually tank the starter motors apart, check the shaft size,
and buy some large sized outrunners with more appropriate rpm per volts as well
as for 24v operation.

I've looked at these in the past as possible motors for my T-70 project. TNC
Scooters confirmed that the sprockets on these motors are standard 25 pitch.
Their also cheap at $18 each.

Ya, they are case grounded, i see from photos of the S-tank they are too. Will
investigate venting them too. Unlike the S-tank mine are not going to be
directly attached to the drive hubs, going to hopefuly make use of the chain
sprocket afixed to them. Going to hopefully reduce rpms a little. Have good
local source for chain/sprocket ect supplies. As for a spair not a bad idea.
