I actually emailed BaneBots tech support for EXACTLY this question. Here is their response:
The two motor adapter does not change the gear reduction so in a best case [assuming no mechanical loss] the RPM would be the same as with 1 CIM motor and the torque would be twice that of a single CIM motor.
The 56mm gearbox and two motor adapter was specifically designed for FIRST applications and we believe they will support two CIM motors.

I don't know though---It doesn't seem like that little sucker can handle those two big CIMs. I'd hate to find out the wrong way.
