Re: how to power your 1/6 scale tanks
My 1/6th scale tanks have really big motors and beefy ESCs. I'd say my KV-2 weighs in excess of 120lbs.
These are the 450W motors in their mounts (which slide front to back for chain tensioning):
And here it is all buttoned up ready to roll:

that looks serious
I guess it is depending on the size of the vehicle

Re: how to power your 1/6 scale tanks
I once sat on my 1/6th Stumtiger and it has smaller 350W motors and it was able to pull my 200lbs along with no issues. It did however bend some of the wheel axles so I never did that again...
