4 Wheel Drive w/ 4 Motors

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum as well as to ESK8s. I wanted to build my first board, but with something a little extra. I want it to be fully remote controllable. This idea was inspired by the Hacksmith on YouTube, who created an ESK8 that can automatically kickflip. While I am not making a kickflipping board (haha that would be ridiculously difficult), I really liked the idea of an RC ESK8. In order to turn the board automatically, I am going to need 4 individual motors (1 for each wheel). Would anybody be able to recommend a specific motor or just point me in the right direction for finding a motor? I would really appreciate any advice I can get! Thanks so much!

you can definitely use smaller like 5065 motors for AWD. ESC you need cheaper low powered ones, I recommend the Cheap FOCer 2. Battery you want to be beefy for AWD if you don’t want to get a spot welder you can buy one from a builder or get a sick EV module from batteryhookup.com
