I was having trouble finding the right motor/rpm.

I can't remember where I left off now. Got parts strung here and yon.
So like you, I have been looking into using gearmotors like the ones used in the ETO gearboxes for quite some time. I need to find my little tachometer thing to measure the speed of the ETO gearboxes.

I was going to measure torque performance by winding thread around the drive hub of a stock tank and add weights until it could no longer lift them, and then repeat the test with the new setup, to meet or hopefully exceed stock.
