Default RC Mako (mass effect)

I'm new to this part of the forum. Normally I'm over at the warships, or tanks, but I'm not new to RC. I loved the Mako in Mass Effect (Xbox 360 game) so I'm going to make not a scale model of it but the general shape and design of it. This is what I have so far in 3d. The wheels diameter is going to be 4.5 inches, 6 wheels, each powered by its own motor. I'm doing that to eliminate dog bones and differentials is that a bad idea? If all motors are the same they should be all spinning at the same speeds running off the same battery shouldn't they? How do I hook 6 motors up to a speed controller? would 2 speed controllers be enough, or would I need 6? I plan to run it on 6 volts off 1 or 2 sla's 14 ampers
