Have you calibrated your stepper drivers?
I had an issue with my circles at one point, and I found it to be too much friction in the Y-axis. So I tweaked some things to make it flow better. It's not your board, those are mechanical issues [besides getting driver current correct].

I am running my SainSmart Megatronics 2.0 with A4988 stepper drivers at 0.4V calibration on a Delta printer, and have had no problems with skipped steps or overheating motors/drivers. Follow the A4988 stepper driver calibration instructions to the letter with a multimeter. SainSmart didn't give you jumpers or stepper motor connectors, and you can take it to the bank that they did not trim the stepper drivers for you either.....
