Removing each motor from the gearboxes and watching them spin in air would be a pretty reasonable way to check that they're all turning, and turning the correct direction.
Would it be preferable to unplug all but one motor from the gearbox?

I would also check the speed controller or driverstation to see if the speed controllers are receiving all the same PWM signals for one gearbox.
