Nothing beets the smoothness of driving just with the Chias. Man is that nice. It's like driving on clouds. This is because thay are very backdriveable (which could be a good or a bad thing but I like it) This years drills I believe are significantly more powerful than the Chias though. For optimal torque and speed, both the Chias and the Drills is the way to go. And if one breaks you've still got the other. I think anything beyone 2 Drills and 2 Chias is overkill and you're current draw will go through the roof and the efficiency will go down through the floor.

As for what our team is doing, we'll let you know on March 13 in Phoenix. Stay tuned...
