Four motors at the same speed?

Can you design a drivetrain that allows you to use four motors? The motors I am think of are the drill and Fisher Price motors. I would put the drills in back and the Fisher Price in front. In a no load simulation you could get all four motors to run at the same speed, but what about under load? Would only two motors drive and the other two act as generators? If that was the case could you write a long equation into the program to make it work? Thanks you for any help you can give me.
