Re: pic: 3CIM Ball Shifter

I agree that 6 CIMs are overkill if you aren't using a PTO. 4 CIMs + 2 550s seems like a good compromise and additionally makes it harder to blow the main breaker(our 6 motor drive was geared for 19.2 FPS @ 100% efficiency and never blew the main breaker). I agree with karthik though: if you can't find an easy way to add the extra motors, it isn't really worth the effort of completely repackaging the gearbox.
