Re: 2 cim vs 1 cim
Yes you could theoretically do this. It is probably not a good idea for several reasons. The first is that you probably don't need to save weight. This year especially, unless you have 12 moving actuators and you make everything out of steel you probably won't be too close to the 120 lb limit. If you want to just be lighter so you accelerate faster, removing the motor is not the way to go. Drive train motors put more energy into moving than they take out, so removing them will not help you accelerate faster. If you really need to weight savings, I would recommend using 2-3 775pro's per side. They have approximately the same power output, but they are a lot lighter. The downside is that they COULD overheat, but they probably wont. You can use a CIM-ile from vexpro as your first stage, and from there it will fit right on to the toughbox. I would only do that once you find out you need the weight though.
TL;DR
You can, but you shouldn't(most likely). Better option would be to use 775pro's, but the best option is to simply use more CIMs.
