An SE with a DC mod (and Fets if you're really crazy) should be more than capible of smoking a Motorworks, plus with the 6 steps each way it'll be a lot easier to control offroad than the 1 step each way of a Motorworks.

And if you want more torque, just toss in a ZZ-M motor instead of the standard ZZ motors. Give you enough torque that you could get by with Direct drive or like a Kitt Racer gearing.
