The two support vehicles with the most battle hours, Goer and UN 
vehicle, both use kiddie car motors (KCM) with direct drive, which gives 
them a 2-3 MPH speed.  Those vehicles were built primarily to be 
inexpensive support vehicles, so speed is not the important.

The next generation wheeled vehicles in Maryland will use more powerful 
motors to achieve faster speeds, but that will involve a more 
complicated drive train and a higher cost.  So, only time (and battles) 
will tell how well ACs do on the battlefield.
