Is there any way to fix this or should we try to control the SRX on the PWM and see it we can calibrate them?

The first thing I would check is the gearing currently in the gearbox under the actuator. If you received them in two different shipments (or received the wrong gearing in one) there may be a discrepancy in the stock gear ratio. If not then I would suggest testing both actuators on the same talon, to make sure you don't have a faulty Talon or an error in your speed control code. If the two actuators are still running at different speeds then you may have a faulty actuator.
