Re: Big CIM Impressions

I want someone to clarify something for me.

The specs that FIRST gave in 2006 were:

Stall Torque:

Small CIM 343.4 oz-in
Big CIM 570 oz-in

So how come most people are saying you get more torque using small CIMs? What am I missing? Please explain this to me as I have always used the stall torque to determine how much total torque the gearboxes have.
