I'm interested in purchasing motorized wheels for my platform.
I'm thinking of something in the area of 4-5" in diameter (maybe larger).
Does anyone know where I could get something like this? I haven't
worked up the numbers yet but I'm thinking of having three of these pull
around a platform of btwn 100 and 200 lbs at 4-5 fps.
I'll also need a steering motor. 
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanx.
