    Hard to say without knowing the full specs of the motor and gearbox, I use 200w motors with 60:1 on my compact rig, which has unusual sprung heave assist.

    Unrelated to the question but motors that are shorter and have larger diameter like these, have larger rotor inertia. That means they are more difficult to change direction and some small details in motion feedback will be loss.
