Please everyone read JVN's post previously in this thread. It is all in how you gear it. Very few conclusions about drive systems can be made in general. You can go much faster with a six motor drive, you can much slower. You can have lots more torque, or a lot less. Adding more anything (motors, gears, etc) to a drive system doesn't amount to any generality other than more weight, but even that is debatable.

If we are looking to discuss a specific drive system, lets do so but lets refrain from making such general coments as "it wouldn't be any faster."
