Experience With 6 Cim Drive train

[BJC]

Here is a tip for everyone in this thread who are popping their main breakers or looking to run 6 CIMs and gear fast:

1. Use lower CoF wheels.

2. Build lighter

Put down the Roughtop tread in favor of something like the VersaWheel DT or a Colson wheel. Consider constraining yourself to 100lbs instead of 120lbs. There is a reason that a team like 1625 could gear a single speed 12:64 (~17.3 fps free for those of you keeping track at home) and still T-bone like a monster this year. Lower CoF wheels and lighter weight mean pulling less current when accelerating and at stall.
