Re: Climbing with CIM's: Versaplanetary Vs. P80 Vs. Multistage Planrtary/Spur Combo

For what it's worth, our climber is using a mini-toughbox, with an additional 15:25 chain reduction. It's nice and fast, and plenty powerful enough - I mini-CIM could get us all the way to the top, but we added a second for a little more speed (we wanted the bar to hit the bumpers when we climb, not one of our vertical frame members) and to help keep the motors cool while running.
