I suggest you take the drill motor out of the transmission and and spin it by hand. Do you feel anything catching? Perhaps the windings on the motor are poor. This happened to us last year, and we simply returned it to FIRST and got another. If one motor is particularly bad.. it might actually be a manufacturing error. If one motor runs significantly poorer than the other.. this might cause you to raise a red flag.

Just a thought.

Good luck everyone!
