I am just saying that even though they may have a higher nominal power rating than the CIM's, the CIM's may be able to put out higher power in the long run if the motors are allowed to run long enough to get super hot.

that is why you make a cooling system to keep your motors at a resonable temp, being a OCer, and a Motorhead, i know what cooling can do. if you were to keep the Dewalt cool, it could easily out preform the CIM.

but im not downing the CIM, they can easily be modded to way out preform the Dewalts and need to have adiquate cooling.
