We didn't have any delays to spread out current peaks. We used six CIMs and each of our wheels was powered by two CIMs, so we had three wheels. Our drivetrain would have just been very hard to control if we had turned all the motors on full at once because it would have wanted to spin very quickly.

I was wondering whether people would read closely enough to see that what I had to say didn't make sense for a typical 6-wheel drive.
