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.

The big CIM is about half the speed of the small CIM, when those numbers are calculated. If you gear the small CIM such that its running at the same speed as the big CIM, then you'll get a much higher torque than 343.4 (maybe 725 oz-in?). The big CIM has less power.
