Re: CIM speed in reverse?
Paranoid,

Yes, the CIM is different in forward and reverse. However, due to the magnitude of error you are experiencing, I'm guessing there is something more fundamental involved.

Try and disconnect the power between the drill speed controllers and the drill motors (run just the CIMs). Repeat with just the drills. I'm guessing that this test will provide more illumination.

Also, pay attention to the circuit breakers, one may be tripping on you.
