Re: Dead cim
we have been re-using our cims for 5 years now, and have not had a single one burn out. we have more of a problem with burning out controllers, as we have 3 or 4 bad victors. that said, we almost always have them run through a 12.75:1 gearbox. the only exception iknow of was 2009, where we used 2 cims to run a pair of stacked 6" 07'-08' KOP wheels; they were actually geared up slightly.
in any case, you want to be careful when working around motors or electronics, neither like metal shavings in them. we always tape off our RS and fisher-price motors when working around them, and vacuum out the area when done.
