You can find pages and pages of arguing for chain drives vs. belt drives. Each can be done effectively as long as teams prepare properly.

I would recommend using 2 sims and not 3. Using 3 sims would be a little overkill, and has the possibility of burning our electronics.

This isn't true. As long as your electrical system is wired properly the snapaction breakers and main breaker should protect everything from dangerously high currents.

OP, I recommend you read through this thread before trying out a 3-CIM drive:

Also, search through the forums here for team's experiences with 3-CIM drives. They can be very effective and somewhat beneficial, but only if implemented properly.
