The "final product" would be a 1:10 replica of given cars, I really wanna go for LMDhs and GT3 cars, so the speed limit of them would be the 1/10 of the original car's performance, trying to mimic the handling, weight, grip, aero etc. as accurately as possible.
Do you have any recommendations what type of DC motor I should use, or anything that could improve the effectiveness of the car given the idea behind?

Thank you in advance!
