Default Evo Wobble?

Ok, just picked up my Evo 5 MS from the LHS here on Okinawa. (gotta REALLY good deal)

I'll be running in the 23T class here, but have some wobble issues...

The assembly went as norm for a Tamiya, a little from this bag, a little from that bag...when will they put the parts in the same bag for the same assembly???

On to the problem...

When going SLOW at about 6 feet the chassis rear end kicks over like the toe or tracking is off and does about every few feet after that. It's got a definite wobble somewheres.

What I've tried:
  1. Added more front toe
  2. Changed tires
  3. Rechecked all arms with digital calipers to specs
  4. Pushed the chassis with no pinion
  5. Took it back to the LHS, both guys tried, said maybe more front toe but that's all.
  6. Rechecked all spacers on hinge pins.
What may be wrong:
The rear hinge pin mount bound a bit on the left side, it looks like the mount may be over to the right about .25mm but I can't find a good way to get a calliper on it and why would it be off?

The ball diff needs to be broken in?

Next step is to actually spend the money for some set up wheels and board to check everything....$$

Any ideas?
