Not necessarily a fault of multiple gearboxes, but if you have say 4 CIMs and 4 gearboxes, and each gearbox drives one of four, two of 8, etc. wheels, then when one wheel leaves the ground, you're transmitting less torque and aren't getting all of the power you could. With both wheels on one side chained together (ether with a single gearbox for both motors, or two gearboxes for two motors but all of it connected) you can still use both CIMs with a wheel lifted.
