That's the definition of "mechanically geared together". The CIMple boxes in the kit have encoder shafts which are designed for the US Digital encoders which also happen to be in the kit. You only need two since you only have two output shafts. The encoder shaft is actually the same piece of metal as the output shaft, so you don't have to account for any gearing.
