You can..but each gearbox w/o motor at 13.4 lbs, and 4 of them being 53.6 lbs, leaving 66.4 lbs for the chassis, electronics, and shooting mechanism, might not be the best idea in my opinion, but might be perfect for your design.
Unless you need a lot of extra weight, I think just having 2 transmissions should be fine for a tank drive robot, unless you're planning on having a holonomic with the 4 transmissions in the corners driving 4 omniwheels independently.
