We've previously used four CIMs in our drive train before, but with chains. We weren't sure if the previously not experienced sudden current draw was coming from the almost zero lag of the gear system.
Are you sure the router is resetting? Can you describe the exact symptoms?

What motor controllers did you use in the previous drivetrain and the present one?
