Sorry to effectively double post this, but I'm still looking for an answer, and now a soap box from which to rant as well.
I just got off the phone with:
1. Support staff at robotshop.ca
2. Support staff at tower hobbies
3. Technical support at THE ACTUAL TAMIYAUSA HEADQUARTERS
Not one of them could tell me how many if any crank arms come with the tamiya double gear box. This is how part of my conversation with the Tamiya guy went:
T.G.: I have the same information you have here, I can't really tell you anything other than that.
H.F.: But wouldn't it make sense that, with two motors, it comes with two crank arms?
T.G.: Yeah, that would probably make sense.
H.F.: Well, in case it doesn't, does Tamiya sell extra crank arms I can get somewhere...?
T.G.: No. The double gearbox is just meant as a model so that people can see how different gear ratios work.
H.F.: It's meant for looking at, not actually for use in a larger model?
T.G.: No, not really.
H.F.: So there's nothing you can tell me about this crank arm, then?
T.G.: No, sorry.
H.F.: I guess I'll just have to find someone who has bought and taken a close look at the gearbox?
T.G.: I suppose that's what you'll have to do.
H.F.: Okay, thanks.
Thanks for what, you knob-end?!
