1/8" may not be enough for pneumatic wheels.

Full throttle?

The numbers are ambiguous and seemingly inconsistent:

10 amps total divided by 6 motors would be only 1.7 amps per CIM, which is less than their free amps.

50 amps per motor times 6 motors would be 300 amps, which would pop your main breaker.

Please elaborate.
