Re: What is your favorite motor....

I vote for the CIM, hands down. I've used them on drivetrains for 5 of the last 6 years, and never once have I had a single problem. Those of us who remember the old Bosch drill motors, and how they had a tendency to overheat and trip breakers in the middle of a match have a great appreciation for this tank of a motor. If it weren't for their weight, I would use these motors (and their larger cousins) for every motor on my robot this year.
