Like I said before (but re-worded): in my experience the output shaft is the transmission's weak link. If we could snap an output shaft made of hardened high-grade steel with two (6V) FP motors I can only imagine on how easy it would be with four CIMs and two 775s.

I agree. I too was surprised, but I read that instead of reversing their drive motors, they turned the swerve modules around, so they never had the load of reversing the motors. Also, they have more reduction after the transmission in the swerve modules, so there's less torque than if they direct drove the wheels That being said, I still wouldn't be surprised if they had to limit themselves in low gear. 6 motors is a ton of power.
