At least it's worth a shot before ordering something you might not need.
so one of the batteries is actually brand new but i'm not chancing it, i'm going to return it as well. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the motor AND the one new battery to be honest.

I might replace every cheap part first and then if that doesn't work get the expensive part i guess.
