Re: Gearing up two cims?
Yeah, I'd definitely recommend considering gearing down an FP (or similar) rather than gearing up a CIM.

We used a single FP with a 4:1 or 5:1 banebots planetary to shoot nerf balls about 30' back in 2006. So long as you keep them moving at a decent RPM most of the time they don't overheat.
