Unless you're also changing the gearing (aside of just balancing out the free speeds of the FP and the CIM), how are 2 FP motors going to be twice as fast as a single CIM? CIM motors are roughly 250W motors (@10.5V), while FPs are 140W (@10.5V). Even with 2 FPs, you're only slightly passing the power a single CIM provides, and certainly not doubling it. Even if you're looking at the power @40A, you're still not doubling the power of the CIM motors.
