If two separate Dewalt gearboxes are on two separate CIM motors (or FP or whatever) and connected together by chains (or gears) and one of the motors/gearboxes fails for whatever reason (busted gearbox, fried motor, bad wiring connection, dead Victor, etc.) then the other Dewalt transmission is going to have a tough time turning the dead gearbox because it is geared down. If instead the two CIM motors are connected in one gearbox (like the KoP gearbox) and one of the motors fails the second motor has an easier time just turning motor that isn't working. The difference is whether the motors are connected before or after being geared down.

My point exactly.
