Re: 6 CIM Drivetrains... What's Your Experience?

We had 6 CIMs this year, in a two speed configuration. The drive was awesome and we really enjoyed the pushing power, speed, and acceleration of the extra motors. However, we did a lot of pushing this year, and the constant strain on the batteries is resulting in them not being able to hold much of a charge, to the point that we cannot re-use this year's batteries next year.
