The shop says VEX CIM motors are powered by a maximum of 12V, but it doesn’t say at what amperage. What amperage should be used to spin the motors?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Ika Musume,

As was answered here and shown on the product page here, the stall current for a CIM motor is 133A. CIM motors are typically used with 40A breakers, however to get maximum power from the CIM motor, more amperage is required.
