Re: Uses of CIMS and associated reductions

What occasions have you used a CIM motor outside of a drivetrain?

What were those occasions?

What gear reduction did you apply to said CIM?

What method/gearbox did you use? custom spur? planetary? number of stages?

What were the leading issues you faced when designing said reduction?

If you could respond with answers to these questions that'd be great
And to append my questions:

For arms etc what rpm did you typically gear down to? FP, BB, etc?
20rpm? 60rpm?

if you could pick a reduction for a CIM, what would it be?
