Richard (and Russ),

Thanks for the link! I may have to update my previous comment to three or four jumping teeth rather than one or two. In any case, current even approaching stall values was momentary at best, and wheels were obviously free to rotate and provide some back-EMF from the motors within a few tenths of a second. Was this conducted with a single CIM behind a 40A breaker, itself behind a 120A breaker? If so, do you have any data on what would happen as you added more load to create a 2, 4, or 6 CIM drivetrain?
