Hey Lae, thanks for your reply. That's what I've calculated too approximately. My calculations show that the torque on the freewheel could vary between 100Nm and 600Nm, although around 300Nm will be the average, but 600Nm is definitely realistic in terms of achievable torque.
It will be used in a tug-of-war contest between vehicles we need to make, so it will probably see this torque only applied for a total of an hour at the most.
