Chains too tight, gearboxes assembled improperly, bearings binding, wheels misaligned, motor manufacturing tolerances.

Try swapping parts side-to-side until the problem changes sides.

Motors, gearboxes, motor controllers, wheels, you get the idea.

Start with the easiest parts and work your way down the list.
