How to chosse a mottor

how choose motor

i bought 1 arduino starter kit , exited it.

so far played around servo , led.

i decided best way learn have goal , strive archive it.

i have few years of programing in having trouble hardware part.

my goal build replica of tiger v tank , after conquer world!

if no mistaken main body of tank around 80 cm wide, 120 m length , 40 cm height, without main canon.

that makes tank heavy. guessing around 50kg few motorcycle batteries power it.

i start motor part of project.

i don't know choose motors, don't know buy!

should go step motor? dc motor?

i thinking in using 1 motor each track of tank.

any suggestions? alternatives?

first you'll need sealed deep-cycle batteries, not standard vehicle batteries.

secondly you're going have work out mechanics in order estimate
torque , speed motors - factors include gearing ratios, friction losses,
maximum incline required climb, maximum speed on flat.   have
ideas drive gearing etc , friction in treads?

[ may range of few horsepower btw ]
