Currently, from what I see, your design connects both motors to the output shafts of the differential (which is connected to the bevel gears), without any attempt at matching them.

Overall, your maximum speed will be an average between the two motors while your maximum achievable torque would be twice that of the weakest motor. Once it stalls, and the breaker trips, all torque will go to the spot with least resistance, which is there.


When designing things, remember that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I see too many people look at the actions and not the consequences. If something can rotate freely, it will, and the device will fail.
