Re: Best motor/gearing option to drive a shooter?

Something for the 8000 rpm, that's assuming free spin, which isn't accurate for a motor under load conditions. The CIM has to turn the wheel, so it's going to be something less than 8000. It won't be an amazing drop but 7000 - 7500 is probably more reasonable.
