Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't adding the 3rd motor to the gearbox take some of the load off of the other two, thus making a breaker reset less likely?
In normal driving, it does take a bit of load off the other motors, but in a pushing match where all motors are giving maximum output you have a larger chance of tripping the breaker with a 6 motor drive than a 4 motor drive. The solution is to just not get into heavy and sustained pushing matches.
