Yes, in all of the test runs (3 trials) the mini-CIM was the highest amperage, but they were very close (44-47 Amps for at least one of the CIMs in each test). So while slightly higher, i think i would say "almost the same" given the accuracy of our data capture.

We plan to save the test chassis, and may do more testing next summer / fall to do more comparisons. With the CIM, mini-CIMs and "CIM adapters" for other motors there might be some interesting information to be found.
