It definitely sounds like "forward" is on CIMs and "sideways" is on a weaker motor (Bag? BB?) Either way, the thing looks hella smooth to drive and I'm interested to figure out a way to see it. (Sad that y'all aren't competing in KC )

Also, love the use of the main battery plus 4 other batteries for ballast.
