Motor Controller Amt per Motor?

What if you are not using PWM but the Jaguar CAN bus? I assume we will just program the same value to both motors and it will work? We haven't done two motors in the same gear-box before so we don't know what to expect in terms of programming. The concern was that code can only program one motor at a time (issuing CAN command to the Jaguar). So one motor will start a little earlier than the other one. So there is a short period that one motor would carry the whole load + turning the second motor at the same time. Probably not too much to worry but just like to hear your opinions on this.
