Just looking at your proposed new drive system, isn't it bad practise to use two motors coupled together?

So far the only problem I had it was when one of the belts snapped and then the other motor was pushing Y car's one side only eventually snapping the second belt or stalling the motor. That's why I decided to use one ,long, strong timing belt. Why do you think there may be any negative aspect of coupling the motors together ?? I've attached mounting plate pic. I'll try to produce it asap.
