350W scooter motors are definitely sufficient to operate any tank in our
scale.  Will Montgomery uses them in the SU-100, which is a very heavy
vehicle, and the SU-100 has no mobility problems at all.  In fact, it is
starting to look like scooter motors (250-350Watts) are performing
better than EV-Warriors.  They don't have as much excess power, but they
deliver enough for the job and they waste less battery power.  Coupled
with the fact that they are readily available and cheap enough to have a
couple spare on hand at all times, I think they are the best solution so
far.
