Re: HELP with drivetrain decision
I would strongly advise you to add the CIMs back and take weight from other parts.

We just got back from Waterloo regional, and our biggest problems were the drive chains that kept falling off (long story). What saved us were the 4 CIMs in 4WD, that allowed us to play powerful defense and push other bots around, even with half the drivetrain disabled.

Unless you have a great shooter, or are very fast with those 2 CIMs alone, I would suggest that you put the CIMs back and make it 4 motor drive.


good luck in Denver.
