Re: Motors and gearboxes from the kit
People,

Read the manual!! It is on the ifirobotics.com website. There is a section that clearly indicates what you must do if there is one motor. And yes, you must retain the bearings where the CIM motor is now removed. Holes are already located in the motor plate, you just have to buy some screws, nuts, and washers. Please read the manual, not doing so may be hazardous to your transmission.

Also, there should be no noise difference between one and two motors. If there is, than something else is wrong (probably didn't retain the bearings no longer held in by the removed CIM).
