What sort of gear ratios are you guys using to get a better scale speed...I’m planning to just drive the rear axles on a build so thought about using something like this...

I settled for a pair of 300 RPM Geared Motors for my WPL/Heng Long 4WD Truck one for each axle. just under £5 each,
The geared motors come in different ratios and are readily available through different dealers,
E-BAY is awash with them at 3 to 6 volts(DC) and they are surprisingly small.
