Re: Gearbox question

Yes and yes. If you have a motor shut off in gearbox the other motors will continue to turn that motor like a generator. It is inefficient since it adds drag to the system. Also you can add a mini CIM in place of a cim in most scenarios how ever they do run slightly faster, they are often considered 2/3 of a cim.
