    There’s a number of 12V motors people use here. The pgsaw-style motors are 12V and they have been used on rigs for yaw/traction loss depending on where the pivot is located and people frequently use MMs to control those. Some have used wiper motors if I recall correctly. Just need to make sure internal grounds are cut.
