the length of the wire has nothing to do with the speed. the problem is that
one motor, the first one on the line, is getting most of the power. the
motor at 9v, 12v or 115v that doesn't mean thats the exact amount of power
that it uses, it will take a little bit more, leaving the second motor whats
left, causing the slower speed. so basically one might be functioning on 10v
while the other is at 9v.
