6 CIM Drivetrains... What's Your Experience?

[Richard.Varone]

We built a 6CIM 2 Speed with a PTO last year and the results we're amazing in terms of pushing power and acceleration. It's biggest draw back was the voltage drop, was as low as 6V in some cases, luckily we foresaw this potential problem and added current sensors on each trans to monitor and adjust for this

However, for this season, we will bite.....and go with a 3 motor per transmission setup.

Yup, in 2012, we had 2 CIMS on each side and could push two alliance partners up onto the bridge uphill at once. Definitely lived up to it's namesake, Panzer.
