Re: Using dual motors in Chain-Drivesystem

yes, the motors will go out of sync a little when under load. however, because they aren't directly connected, the slop in synchronizing them is just taken out in wheel slippage instead of having the motors directly fighting each other. The effect is somewhat reduced. You can try to create a voltage map to have the motors always be running at the same RPM, but that can get a little complicated and requires a lot of testing and experimentation
