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?*
