May I ask how this is possible?


On a different note:
You have to understand that the torque load of a near stalled (re: pushing match) drivetrain is not just on the wheels on the ground, but every part of the drivetrain in varying levels. There is an axial load trying to push the gears away from each other, due to the geometry of the teeth. Too thin of plates may flex far enough for the teeth to slip (considering the CIM is cantilevered), and you may find yourself in a high-wear situation especially considering the horsepower of the 4 motor idea.
