Obviously you have to make sure that both the motors are running off the same type of controller as well as moving on the same signal (we have usually just used a Y pwm cable to make sure of this.) Yes the motors do have some variance in speed but when put on the same shaft they are close enough that it should be fine if you make sure all the electronics and programming are synced properly.
This is basically what we've done with ours and there are no problems so far.
SO FAR.
SO. FAR.
Dear God if this thing breaks tomorrow.
