The motor I am currently using is a planetary gear/motor combo. See pictures above.

Well,

I think the "Premium Planetary Gear Motors" - Link: https://www.servocity.com/motors-actuators/gear-motors/standard-duty-gear-motors/premium-planetary-gear-motors
is the most likely to be used as it has the widest RPM range (26 to 2737 rpms) - the motors appear to be about $28.00 each. If they all support the same motor-mounting, that would provide an excellent range of selection. Also, the planetary gearing should provide for smooth operations and good torque. I for one think that this is an excellent alternative to the standard RC Tank gearbox/motor setups available as they are most likely to have greater service life and torque - and possibly quieter operational noise levels.
