Hinge Stutter

[ETPOF]

I have a career save where I landed two rovers of the same design on the Mun. They each have a tail of hinges attached that is used to adjust the position of a docking port on the back (if I need to use the rover to drag things around for a base or something). However, all of the hinges on one of the rovers stutter as they move, even with the same traverse rate and other settings applied as the hinges on the other rover that move smoothly.

Here's a video shared from my Google Drive that can probably show this all a little better (it's still processing at the time of writing and I used a really bad screen recorder lol. Sorry!). The first rover shown is the one with the weird hinge problem. The second is the one that is working as designed.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but both rovers are identical and both have an electric charge and a comms signal, so does anyone have any idea what else could be causing this?

EDIT: After many restarts, the stutter seems to be finally gone. I still wonder what caused it in the first place, but nonetheless it has been resolved.

I haven't seen that particular kind of behavior (of bug) in an unmodded install, So my guess would be that a mod or a combination of mods triggered a bug in the robotics implementation. But the real answer is that I don't know.
