Re: Side of Drives Giving Out
CIMs don't have internal breakers, so they will keep going until they are dead. Once dead, they are DEAD. They can be worn from hard use and simply swaping in a fresh pair might help, but not likely.
It sounds like you are either tripping the breaker, or resetting a Jag. You didn't mention which speed controllers you were using, but by the sound of it, I'm guessing they are Jags. Either way, you are over currenting your drive.
Check for binding in your drive train. Check for chain misalignment. Lubricate your transmissions and chains. Possibly, change your output sprocket to a smaller one to gain more torque out of the transmission. If all else fails, swap the Jags for Victors.
