I saw "2 CIMs through KoP gearbox" and figured one per side, cause why go for extra drive power in a non-pushing game?

Anyways, FP through an andymark planetary in this application is a recipe for disaster unless you run it through a dewalt as well. I think they pretty obviously need the anti-backdrive ability. If you're running it through a dewalt anyways, go straight into the dewalt, I think. Also, you'd be wise to be careful with the FPs as they can be overheated and smoked.
