I know that running the two motors into 1 transmission actually cuts down on efficiency... thinking those treads could push any harder is sorta mind blowing,
awesome design :-)
Running two of the same motor has no inefficiency. Running two different motors (at matched speeds) have some, but it can be minimized by close matching.

Either way, two decent drive motors (small/big CIM, FP) will be more powerful than any single motor.
