Talking Re: Kitbot/cims/transmissions running too slow?
What is the gear reduction ratio of the kit transmission for the chippewa motors? Are you running four chippewa motors for drive or just two? I don't have any numbers for it but our 2004 bot with two chippewa motor drive, 12 inch wheelchair wheels and about 29:1 final drive ratio would absolutely FLY!
I will agree with you, your problem has me stumped too. Since your driveline feels smooth and you have already ruled out voltage problems, I don't see why it would give you problems. As for having defective motors, it is highly unlikely that you would wind up with two lemons in the same kit. Good luck, Swampdude!
