There's your problem! The banebots motor with the most torque still has over 3 times less torque than a CIM motor. By switching to a CIM motor and keeping the same gear ratio, you're giving the banebot motor a 3 to 1 disadvantage.
It's totally possible to vertically climb something at a reasonable rate using banebots or similar drill motors. Check out some 2004 robots for examples.
