Batteries need to be broken in before you push them really hard. What size tires do you have? Try measuring each battery while driving, to see if you have a bad battery. Even new, it's possible.

Just for future reference, you should have all cables the same size in a series circuit. This is not referring to a series motor, but the path the current flows through from one side of the pack to the other. - pack, controller, FNR, motor, then back to the pack. The AWG 2 isn't really doing anything since they are limited by the AWG 4. However, given that you have a 400 amp controller and the smallest cable is AWG 4, you are fine. Unless the AWG 4 cables are old, there's no real benefit to upgrading them.
