Toughbox Torque

Searching through the old threads, apparently none have answered the question relating specifically to the toughbox, only to banebots and drillmotor gearboxes. Just how much input torque can the toughbox handle before failing? We used one with two CIM's this year for our winch, and the thing performed like a charm, easily outputting over 100 ft-lbs. So what if we could have doubled up the toughboxes together to improve the efficiency of the motors operating it? Would it be able to handle such loads, even if it reached the top and stalled?
