reliable
simple no gear box's
easy mounting
spur gear's require only minimal rework to mount to output shaft.

we found it would require alot more machined parts to mount the drill motors and gear box's then simply drilling two holes to support the CIM motor.

Youre still going to need a gearbox, unless you are directly driving the wheels, which would just be stupid, and you didnt do. Mounting the drills takes exactly zero parts. The included mounts arent the best, but if you use em right, they work fine.
