I'd like to follow up to my own post. Today I was able to run my car on a carpet track and it was fantastic. Very smooth and easy to control and it tracked straight and true.
My thought is that I built the kit 'by the book' (M05 S-Spec #84204) and the shocks come out such that there is very little droop, and very little suspension travel. I suspect this makes it unstable on a parking lot or other rough surface. But is was fantastic on a carpet track!
