Re: HELP: Voltage Drop
You are not clear if you have 4 CIMs or 2 CIMs. I assume 2 CIMs PER SIDE is your configuration.

Are all 3 wheels & all CIM on each side drive train mechanically coupled (chain, belt, gears) such that rotating one wheel rotates all wheels and all motors? Or do you have a different configuration (e.g. front wheel driven by 1 CIM, back & center driven by another CIM)?

All ratios from motors to wheels (and size of wheels -- but we already know that 8") are also needed to answer questions intelligently.
