What do you mean the Victor is only 16V? There are two versions - a 12v volt
version which is 16V max, and a 24v version. 60A continuous. The only
difference is the fan voltage I think. They are pretty unbreakable.

Motor size would depend on the weight of your vehicle. Most people with these
are using 300 watt, some 400 watt and if the vehicle is smaller and lighter
then a pair of 250watt should suffice.
All units operating well are running at 24v.

You could program a programmable motor controller to do this, but you dont
program the motor itself. Electric motors only have one speed - flat out.
Varying the speed of an electric motor is done by turning the motor on/off many
times per second, this is what the motor controller does.

not having battled before, I obviously cant comment on how difficult it is to
operate a tank in battle, but I think it would be great to experiement with a
forced two-radio option, and have one person driving, another controlling the
gun, and possibly a third who actually gives the orders
