I'm not so fast to pin it all on the large CIM. Sure, it's got its faults (weight and relative lack of power compared to its smaller sibling being the largest), but it does have its highlights. (We ran this exact setup at Palmetto in a 6WD configuration, and it turned smooth as butter.)

I'm also inclined to pin it on a configuration issue along the lines of sanddrag's post, we can't be sure without getting more details (sprocket sizes, wheel coefficients of friction, etc.) without pictures (CD-Media is a wonderful thing) or more details.
