Re: For the love of CIMs (A question about CIMs and gearboxes)

Eventually having so many motors in the Gearboxes will cause a high enough voltage drop on the battery that performance will suffer. Unless your manipulator is Intermittently operating or doesn't use much current adding more motors to the drive-train may hurt performance, especially if you get to the point where the 120 Amp breaker is in danger.
