Example- Our drivetrain is in an L shape, what we have to do is make it into an upside down 'L' Shape, so that the motor is in a different position, not right next to the other one. It should sorta look lik a demented 'H' right next to each other. That should fix your problem, that is if you're using drill motors. If you're using another kind of motor, then I don't know.

one thing. maybe you just phrased it confusingly, but the gearboxes do not turn anything faster in one direction than the other, it is as Matt Attallah says. the brushes are timed advanced in one direction. which means the brushes are not centered from the permanent magnets
