The answer to this question is completely dependent on how much current you're drawing from each subsystem. If your 6CIM drivebase is using a lot of current - ie, you're pushing somebody and the drivebase is geared for a medium to high gear ratio (>10fps), while running 2 mini cims at full speed (but at free speed), yes, you may experience brownout. However, if not being pushed or not running your drive base too fast, you likely will not experience more than a momentary brownout when accelerating or turning as you drive. Do not take my word for this however - the best way to tell is to build it and test it - OR if you already have a similarly-geared 6CIM drive in your shop, just strap on 2 miniCIMs, run them at full speed and drive around, and see what the brownout characteristics are.
