But the servocity motors also say, " Gear train damage can occur if stalled (locked)." So if you stall out your tank by trying to go up too steep a grade or something you could damage the transmission. Probably true with any of these.

So, the servocity motors appear to offer over twice the torque of the uxcell motors I currently have. A redesign may be in order!

Well, 1kgf/cm is about 67ft/lbs......
I don't see climbing as a problem, even a 2kg/cm a 1/16th tank will have tremendous torque....
What would be a problem would be purposely jamming or locking the drive sprockets.......
