Since the chip motors have about the same torque as the drill motors AFTER GEARING THEM UP, I suspect it might be really pushing things to run both a drill and a chip motor through the drill gear boxes. It might handle it, but...

We ran tandemed drill and Fisher Price motors through the transmissions last year with no problems, but the chip motors are a lot more potent than the F/P motors. If you do the Chip and drill motors through the transmissions, let us all know how it goes. It would be an awesome setup if nothing breaks.
Hrm... well, how about two transmissions, one on the Chip, and one on the Drill? They would have to be shifted in tandem, and it would add more complexity, of course, but that sounds like a safer way to go? Do you think it is worth experimenting with one transmission? Actually, does anyone know where we can find the specs on the drill motor transmissions? Thank you very much for your input!
