Re: What is the best place to mount CIM motors...?
Which type of 6-wheel? Rocker, you should probably put the gearboxes on what you want to be the heavy side. Planar (with or without omnis), doesn't matter. This is assuming a dead-axle setup.
The middle wheel will only turn faster than the front and back wheel if you screwed up your gearing between wheels. (1:1 between wheels; if you connect the gearbox in two places, make sure the ratios are the same on both connection points.)
For a live-axle, the same general guidelines apply, but you get more complicated.
