Stepper motors are great for things like precision controlled movements. They are however much lower in torque and speed, and need expensive controllers or computer control to run them. They might be ok for small robots, or for the clever person, maybe for a turrent control. I strongly do not recommend them for locomotion of a heavy vehicle, basically anything over a maybe 8lbs in weight. Overall, a stepper motor setup is usually much more expensive as a result of the required controller, and are not for the electronics faint of heart.
