Re: 2 Motors is Faster?!
I see no reason to use four CIM motors in a drive train this year.
There isn't really a way in which a team would be torque-limited this year (unless you use the Mabuchi motor); you will be entirely traction-limited. Using four CIMs on the drive is just wasting hundreds of Watts of power.
