I would agree with all the posters, the lightness of the unit makes it sensitive & perhaps even a little bouncy & that results in the studdering on the track. In a lesser sense, I ran some Ford Pickup ReRailers & had the same thing happen, after serviceing & cleaning the track & wheels, they went really smoothly.

I'm also interested in those coreless motors, all I have dealt with have been 3 phase [3 leads]  (if you will)... Are there two wire ones I should be looking for? I am very interested in this! Thanks!
