I originally designed Hetzer #T010 to use Saturn wiper motors.

However, I quickly concluded that they would be too slow (~1 mph)
and too weak for main drive.  However they should be fine for turret
rotate.

Brian Tomas used them on Tiger #T007 but we never got to see
it in action.

300W scooter motors Ebay #7116354125 seem like good
replacements for EV Warriors based on my initial tests.

I also ordered a $30 two-speed 24 VDC drill from Homier to test.

If you use drill motors, be certain to get ones with two speeds
to take advantage of the internal gearbox (typically 3:1 reduction)
and higher torque.
