Using multiple motors won't change the top speed significantly, though they will decrease the time it takes to get to top speed.
3946 is geared for 12.7 ft/s per AM's calculations - 2015 gearing, 2016-17 wheels. We're using 4 drive CIMs and keeping the weight down by only using four wheels and two belts on a "half-long" chassis to keep the current draw reasonable.
OBTW, thanks to the folks at AM for putting those churro holes 4-1/4" either side of the drive bearing! So far, the only drilling we've done to the chassis were to accommodate rivets and rivnuts rather tan 10-32 and nylocks.
