Re: CIM motors vibrate/jitter

Your first step should be to calibrate the motor controllers, as was suggested above, this issue (if you've ruled out code and joystick calibration as sources) is likely due to a PWM signal that is slipping out of the deadband.

Other possible sources are bad ribbon cables from the DSC (with this I believe you would see jitter even while driving) and battery voltage/reset conditions.
