I am with you. Intermittent but constant stops are very frustrating.
Looking at my Genesis MP15AC I did in the past:
1- uninstall all axes and enlarge the axes cuts in the plastic body of the trucks.
(the plastic truck body shall not touch the axes)
2- reinstall them with an conductive grease (mine is with copper) into the end metal bearings
(the bearings shall be the only fix point of the axes and a solid electric contact too)
3- solder all truck to PCB wire connections
(never trust the black clips)
4- modify the front truck to have more 3-dimensional clearance. Use a small washer to ensure the truck freely swing lengthwise and diagonally
(the shipped model is very stiff. It may lift easy one truck side in case of imperfect tracks and on switches with misaligned frogs)
Good luck. I had a long bad time with my Genesis MP15AC but got finally a happy end.
