Re: Double cim motors

I agree. I wish we would have ordered extra victor instead of jaguar, but we already did that....

So what do you recommend between the victor and jaguar for drive motors?

Re: Double cim motors

Our team decided to upgrade and go with the two speed transmission. We did some research on that, and it seems like it will work out best. Definitely worth the price. You will still need the extra motor controllers, but it will make it faster and more maneuverable than just doubling up on CIM motors.

Correction: It will let you choose, on-the-fly, between being faster and more maneuverable OR being slower and more pushy. If all you wanted was faster, it'd have been cheaper to go with a faster gear ratio instead.

I think by "more maneuverable" he meant better fine control (which you get with greater speed reduction).
