I really suggest you test your gearing with 6cims before building this during a season, you might not move at all due to browning out. Wheel diameter will be a big factor too, so smaller wheels could help with this.

What free speed were you looking at before and after the change? Do you think that removing the MiniCIMs could have helped/ did help?
