West Coast Drive vs Mini CIM Drive

My team did some testing with 6 pneumatic wheels on a west coast drive train and found that whenever we would do a sudden stop, turn, or change of direction, either the gears or the timing belt would skip. long use of this would destroy them both, so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with 6 mini CIM motors with one motor per wheel. I read up about the motors and found that the mini CIMs are 2/3 the power of the regular CIM motors, so with 6, it would be equal to the power of 4 CIM motors, which is what we currently have driving the west coast.

I would use the mini CIMs and the clamp mounts (http://www.vexrobotics.com/217-4156.html)

soooo what do you guys think about this
