Could we please get back to answering my initial question, and post your experiences with the Big CIM in a drivetrain application, using the kit gearbox in parallel with a small CIM.

Thank you,

BEN
We did use the big cim with the small cim motors together on the kit
gearbox, it worked good. We had very good power and speed.
our biggest problem was in justiyfing the extra weight at around 5 lbs each.
I belive we used the free speed for the gear ratio.
