Many of us use M01 motors, which are 350 watt geared scooter motors. They provide plenty of power. There are 250 watt versions of those motors that I'll probably try if hull space is short or I use up the 350s I have in the shop.

I'd like to take a moment to thank Steve for the T34 plans; for my first tank im really grateful to not have to scale any drawings before I can start sawing. Ive been looking at motors, and I need some advice; most of you seem to have EV motors, which are increasingly hard to find. I have done a fair bit of looking on-line, and have come to the conclusion I have no idea how many watts my motors should be. I found someone selling 350 watt 24 volt scooter motors for a good price, but I wanted to know what you guys think, seeing as some of you have far more experience. Is 350 watts per track enough power, or is it going to be sluggish and i should look for at least 500-600 watts?
