Re: Looking for 3 Inch CIMs (2006/2007 KOP)

Is there a particular reason you want them? As I recall they're bigger (obviously), a non-trivial amount heavier, and actually have a lower max power than a CIM (although I think at a lower speed).

EDIT: based on the 2008 JVN calculator, the Mini-Bike CIM has a peak power of 261W, free speed of 2600rpm, and a stall torque of 3.83Nm. It's basically a MiniCIM's power, but at about twice the torque and half the speed... and much heavier. I'd rather add a stage of gearing to a CIM or MiniCIM.
