2x stall (as that's what occurs when you give full voltage and the motor is at free speed in the wrong direction, the back EMF of the motor is going the "wrong" way and adds to the supply voltage so you get double voltage, double current, double torque).
3 motors, as the last pinion transfers the torque of the other 2 motors.
That works out to 6x total, and really points out the danger of passing load down pinions.
