Not a bad idea...and you could mount a dual chain tensioner.
This is why these forums work so well...ideas can just flow out
and help everyone who participates. Get going Matt, build it, it'll be fun and you won't regret it. And you ask for comments...one I could give is that when you settle on a matching gear ratio between the two motors, consider that the top speed matchup is not that important unless you are making a four wheeled "segway" because you seldom will reach top speed. This is because you need to hold some speed in reserve to make tilt corrections as you ride.

Can't fix the slop in the drill motor? I take it that the drill motor you are using is the new one then? Is the clutch different in it?
