Re: Climber help: thermal breakers.

What is the outside diameter of the spool you're using to climb. As others have pointed out, you should be able to climb comfortably in under 5s with just one 775pro, two should be more than enough.

We're looking at using a single CIM motor on a 9:1 ratio and the calculations are saying we should be able to climb in roughly 4 seconds and pull less than 30A (though obviously this will change somewhat as the strap winds up and makes the spool effectively wider). Given that a 775pro has about the same performance as a CIM when geared properly you should have no problem getting your climber to work.
