Re: Drivetrain First Thoughts?

A road we are considering going down is a chassis similar to ours last year (8WD driven by 4 CIMs). We are considering 6WD, but i am not sure how many motors we are going to put on. Unfortunately, we are only limited to 4 CIMs this year, so we may have to limit to 2 CIMs total, which surely would decrease our speed.

One thought I have had, but not sure how exactly to execute, is to have 3 CIMs power both sides of the drive train.
