Re: Motor Info

When using two different motors, you should always make sure that they are geared so their free speeds match. This means you should be using the same percentage of each motor In this case, the ratio between the ratios for drill to CIM should be 19500/5500 or about 3.7. (112/28 != 19500/5500). This is probably a bit hard to understand, but there are numerous posts about this all over the forum with much longer, and well written explanations of why free speeds need to match and such...
