Motor options

C800: it's just too weak. Winches: not robust, needs retrofit. Tarping motors: do they have the longevity? also, pretty oversized. Brushless motors: now we're talking, except, y'know, you need an ESC. Semi-custom gearmotor: this is probably the way. talk to bison.

How do to clutching?

  • Built-in clutch on winch: slick, but can you get it?
  • Just don't: too much resistance methinks, but...
  • Quick pins on the wheel: this is annoying to futz with
  • Pin drive on a sprocket: could be annoying to have pop back in place... unless, you make it dig-in-able? would this need to be unenclosed?
  • Face spline hub on wheels: that's a lot of torque and weirdness?
  • Detension a belt: Will the belt be strong enough?
  • Centrifugal clutch: but don't you want a built in parking brake?
