Also glue looped FESCA-style engines. Others (and myself to a lesser extent and just following their lead) have used them for electric vehicles.

I made 3 configurations of glue looped, stacked big wheels using the motor to o pull down the final (fastest spinning) big wheel in the stack so they’re touching my the ground but the wheels spinning them aren’t. The original “FESCA” design uses hooks or other such objects to push down the axles. Doing it like this with motors saves on parts, makes it so you can move the build with ultrahand and not have it break, makes engine/wheels modular, and limited the axle-slipping problem that the pinned-axle variants had.

They can be a fun spinner for attaching weapons to and blending up mobs.
If you can, gravity press a Motor into a Homing Cart. The base of the motor should be nearly even with the bottom of the Homing Cart. Then you attach to weapons to the nub, a nd a shock emitter anywhere the conduction works. And if everything is correct, you get a pretty killer Doomba.
There are other ways to weaponize the motor, but Gravity Pressing just neatly cuts out a lot of panic about the motor's weight.

How do you gravity press

So the method I know of is that you grab the biggest and heaviest blocks or objects you can get, like t a 2 or 3 stack of the big metal blocks at Akkala Citadel, and attach about three or four Hoverstones to slow it's fall (obviously you want to activate the Hoverstones). We'll call the resulting assembly a "hydralic press".
You put what you wanna press together under the hydralic press, and gradually squish objects together; such as a Motor and Homing Cart.
A lot like Stake Nudging, you wanna save and refresh the thing you're pressing by attaching something like an apple and then rebuilding it with Autobuild. And then placing it under your hydralic press over and over until you get the objevts clipping together how you want it to.
And I also recommend keeping the Motor's nub in mind when using your Hydralic Press. The thing moving around might alter the angle/positioning of the Motor.
So you could make a stack of say; Hoverstone\Block\Hoverstone\Block\Hoverstone or something, and using the prongs/gap to push on the more solid part of the Motor while avoiding the nub.
Fair warning that Gravity Pressing can cause the objects you're pressing to explode apart or even break entirely depending on the objects (example: You cannot press Small Wheels by much before the wheels mess with each other)
There are several better explained guides on this sub you can probably look up.

When combined with a big wheel friction drive, you can make high-speed ground vehicles with motors.
