Do you agree?

Thanks,

Assuming you mean to use these toughbox mini's on your drivetrain, use 2 per toughbox. In my rookie year, we used 2 cims to power our drivetrain and we quickly added 2 more when we got to the competition. It's worth putting power into your drivetrain, and having weight down low is never a bad thing.
