why would an induction or other brushless motor whine?

gears whine.

" Having at least a low and high range would

" around 30 amps when activated (at 12V, of course).

better would be some sort of toggle arrangement.  it would hold
without power in either position but need a kick to switch 'over
center'.

i still think that the od unit isn't enough ratio change to be
meaningful with an electric motor.
