HI  Josh.. I am Garnet from Saskatoon SK.. welcome to the club...it will all depend what tank you are building and size, weight etc.   I tried 2 motors with similiar specs in my king tiger..tank number 42..  it moved but not enough power to go up any grade...  you will need... in my opinion at least 1/3 to 1/2 cont horsepower..  That is a scooter motor with 250 watts to 380 watts or more.   If it is then geared right that should be great.  Dont forget to join the Norther Barbarians.    Good luck.   Garnet
