However with six CIMs you have to take into account the current they are drawing. If you end up stalling all six at once, and each is drawing 40 amps (or more) through its breaker on the PD board, there are 240 amps being drawn through the main breaker, which is rated to 120 amps. At least one team at SVR ran into this problem.
