Also worth pointing out that in especially regards to drive with so many paired motors, you will have 4 or more motors trying to draw near double stall current, over 1000 Amps for 4 cims. This will cause a large voltage drop, until the current draw reaches an equilibrium with that. This will greatly reduce the Torque.

My hunch is you will still experience greater than 1x Stall torque at nominal voltage, but not the classical 2x I originally stated.
