I'm sorry if I mis-spoke regarding the gearing being too high /low. What I was trying to say is, if you gear your drive train to run the motors at max. RPM they are less likely to overheat because they are under less load. We competed in three regionals and the nat's and never once had a heat problem with the CIM"s Just trying to be helpful, nothing else.
Good Luck!
