One person on the EVDL has two ADC 8" motors belted together, and another had three 9" motors mounted end-to-end. In both cases, the motor closest to the transmission must handle the torque from the other motors. In both of these cases, the standard ADC shaft was sufficient. There might be a slight possibility of concern in the case of using the 4WD low range for something like pulling a stump, but even then, half of the torque is going to the front wheels.
