Dewalt Transmission Crisis!

Running 4 DeWalt transmissions on our robot, chain driven so that 2 of the transmissions are running 2 wheels. Unfortunately the victor's are setting the motors at 2 different speeds and tightening up one end, loostening up the other. When we run the 2 motors out of the same Victor, they are syncrod close enough that the wheels run, but when we stop it seems to lock up. Is there any way we can keep them being driven on through 1 chain, or should we split it and chain 1 wheel to 1 transmission/motor?
