The estimated final drive speed is about 10 feet per second."

The Toughbox Mini also accepts 2 CIMs so if you elect to drive each side 2 CIMS it will be very similar to the kitbot on steroids from previous years, just theoretically more efficient and lighter.

EDIT: FOund the link to the information you are referencing above.


How do you know for sure that the KOP will be the same as last year in regards to the 2013 KOP Drive System?

Was this published already?

Thanks,

Norman
