Yes. That's one of the things I like about it. 3 of the 4 standoff screws go all the way through to the CIM motors. The other standoff gets a nut on the motor plate side. There is one bolt in one of the CIMs that is just by itself. You can barely see it in the picture. There may be reduncancy in having the standoff that is closest to the left side of the picture, but eh, whatever.

The gearbox could be narrower by about 3/4" but we have a sprocket inside and are running the chain right out of the box, so, that's where the width is coming from.

By using small wheels (~3.375"), we were able to direct drive and save weight and space. And we can still get on the platform.
