Yes thats exactly what I am saying.

I'm guessing you have an overwhelming amount of drag in one side of your drivetrain. If possible, measure the current draw on each motor on both sides of the drivetrain. You should only be drawing a few amps per motor per side. If you're drawing more than a few amps per motor, I'd recommend removing that gearbox and confirming if it's assembled correctly.
We are currently taking apart the gearboxes to see if they are not assembled correctly. After running them, one of the motors seemed warmer than another to the touch. But nothing else is sticking out
