In 2008 (Overdrive, oval laps), 968 originally used two CIMs and one Fisher price in each side of the drivetrain. It was also a two speed. It was geared for about 18 feet per second in high gear. When we later reconfigured things and used the FPs elsewhere, we there was a noticable top speed drop and lag in acceleration. Also, we began to burn out the CIMs without the FP there helping. Unless the game is something like oval laps again or offers some way to get a ton of normal force on the vehicle (like 2002), I don't see a whole lot of benefit to a 6-motor drive. I suppose it could be beneficial in a single-speed gearbox that is geared properly. But usually the Fisher price motor and BaneBots motors are prime candidates to use elsewhere.
