Since there were no drawings of the Kit drivetrain this year, it's easy to have problems with the drive. I think your problem lies in your gears. You want to reduce the output speed of your motors using those 90 degree gears. But you've increased the speed by putting the larger gear on the drive, and the smaller gear on the wheel. Reverse the two gears (smaller on the drive, bigger on the wheel) and your problems should be solved. Hope this helps!
