I assume the 11.5 lb. measurement is with two 2.5" CIM motors? Even still sounds a bit heavy. The AndyMark website lists the Super Shifters at 4.6 lb. without motors, and iirc the CIM motors are a little over 2 lb. each. Meaning it should only total less than 9 lb., rather than eleven and a half!
Perhaps the weight I recall for the CIM motor is entirely incorrect, which is quite possible. If not, are you weighing anything else with the transmission?
Are you weighing two Super Shifters each with one CIM motor (and the CIMs being significantly lighter than I remember)?
