That might very well almost hold true (I am no expert) if your motors were
hooked up like:

[power]--------[motor]-----------[motor]   (parallel circuit)

But I have mine hooked up like:

[motor]--------[power]-----------[motor]   (parallel circuits)

I assume one motor is not going to pull more amps than the other motor.
There is a slight difference in the resistance of the different lentgh
cables, but not enough at these small footage to calculate with any bearing
on the overall performance.  In fact, now that I think of it, the motor I
have on one of my lifting sections that is farthest from the power source is
the motor that lifts faster.

so based on what has been explained and what I just theorized, I can only
come to the conclusion that the biggest difference in motor speed will have
to do with the motor itself.  I also remember a post on Lugnet from last
year where it had been determined that Lego(r) has made more than one geared
motor (different part numbers) and these motors have different speeds and
amperage draws...

But again, I am no expert.  Just a pro...

well since i was basing my theory of working with stereos and lights on my
car, you have the uperhand...lol

(...) I believe your are right Steven, if two identical motors were connected in an identical way they would run at the same speed provided they had identical loads. But nothing in this physical world is identical and that is why stepper motors and (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)
