...I think what I've discerned, and probably didn't explain to well, is that such an arrangement is capable of outputting more torque at a higher RPM than a single motor would, but not more torque overall.
Also, as best as I can tell, this new output isn't the sum of the two motors, but some average.
I don't know right now. This kid has me so confused I'm practically guessing. I'll have to think about it more using real motor data and draw some better conclusions. It seems that without gearing the motors to one another at some level, while there may be a potential benefit at some point, there'd be a greater overall loss in performance across the entire operating range.
