Re: Experience With 6 Cim Drive train

Great! 6 cims driving 3 cim ballshifters geared 12ft/sec and 5.5 ft/sec. Kit drivetrain upgraded to 8wd long. Traction limited in high, estimate of around 200 amps spinning in high using drivetrain calculator on WCP website. Played tough D in high a lot at central il regional, no trips. No trips at Wisconsin either. Standard wiring sizes, noticed some heating in wiring and battery, no failures, no major concerns. 6 cim acceleration made for some great defensive capability.

We will seriously consider 6 cim single speed next year at 12 ft/sec unless game dictates otherwise.

Heres a short video showing some highlights from cental IL for those interested:

Edit: To clarify, we almost never used low gear all year.
