Re: Kitbot/cims/transmissions running too slow?

6" skyway wheel chair wheels (usual kit stuff). Chain had appropriate slack. Also the bot didn't drift to either side when full power - it went straight. Indicating the fact that if there were something wrong it would have had to happen in both gearboxes, or at least one motor in each box. So I'm almost certain there wasn't a mechanical problem. I also don't think we happened to receive (4) defective cims. So if everyone is positive these cims perform 5300 rpm free speed. Then it really only leaves one conclusion, that the RC wasn't providing full power. We also had the old victors (883's?). Anyhow, I'll measure the voltage tomorrow and let you know.
