Not quite true. You can gear the output of 4 CIMS so that your wheels won't slip (Read Pauls post above). That being said, I don't believe you'd gain much by doing so.
@ Paul Copioli,
Technically I believe that the wheel to floor interaction is governed by
F = CoF * downward force (which usually is gravity * mass, but can have other forces interacting with it as well)
