Function of a DeWalt 3-speed--you can really only fit one motor to a gearbox without adding another gearbox on top of it to join the motors. Why would you need the extra speed? Let's see--extra push, easier transition to high gear, and LUDICROUS SPEED!
It wouldn't hurt to add a chain run to make sure that each side gets both motors powering all the wheels together. I realize that those aren't shown, but it may be worth having if weight (and the field) allow.
