# After spending the last few months pondering how to rebuild DracUCLA, I finally decided on all the parts that I'm going to use. The biggest issue I had was deciding on drive motors. I originally wanted to use two MiniMags geared down about 6:1 with Apex Dynamics planetary gearboxes, but the cost:benefit is just too high so I decided on 4 18V De Walt drill motors. They don't provide as much torque as I would have liked, but they get the job done.
