heh its because we pulled way too much current last year and frequently tripped our 60 amp breaker. Plus this year we used 9 motors and we needed the two FP's for our arms

Im not trying to discourage you from doing it...more power to you
Also, it was because it was simply overkill and we didn't need it....actually we took off two of the motors last year too b/c of the overkill and breaker trippage thing, so we only had a 6 mtr drive base for a short while.
