paper: Cyber Blue 234 Drive System Test - Performance and Power

This is great!

I find it really interesting that on paper, the 4 + 2 CIMs are comparable, and sometimes beats the 6 CIM option.

Quick question, am I correct in assuming that the "Peak Amps - 1 Motor" for the 4 + 2 CIMS was a Mini-CIM? (as "Peak Total Amps" for 4 + 2 is higher than 6, but "Peak Amps - 1 Motor" is lower)

I'm not sure hard it would be to organise, but from that data I'd be really interested in seeing how more combinations of Mini-CIMs (say 2CIMs + 4 Mini-CIMs) stack up.

It seems that even though the CIMs are higher power, by operating the Mini-CIMs closer to their MPP they perform noticeably better. This implies that in some drive trains, Mini-CIMs would actually perform better than standard CIMs. However it should be noted that (assuming the same gearing form CIMs and Mini-CIMs) the closer you get towards the CIMs MPP, the closer you get to the Mini-CIMs stall condition.
