Wow laundry list of questions, so I'll try to hit them all.
Yes I am using 2 cim and I know they put out a peak 674 watts which is 0.903hp (close enough to 1hp) but when dealing with nontechnical media, nice rounded number are easier to try and explain/write.
I control it with a servo tester and two victors. I do have the standard FRC motor kill switch. On the output shaft of the gearbox I have a ratcheting sprocket. I ran it for about 3 miles today and the motors were barley warm and there was still power left in the battery. And Drake was close because the picture was taken at Tillman looking toward Death Valley
