Problem with KitBot: Motors move at different speeds

Hi y'all,
So we just loaded up an arcade drive program onto the kitbot, the programming is correct and right now when the bot moves forward, the right side spins faster, when it goes backwards the left side moves faster. We thought it might have been the tension between the two plates and we loosened the bolts, but it is still doing this.
The motor controllers are paired up with y cables so we only have a left and right output.
Could it be possible that somehow the cims move faster in one direction comparing to the other?
