Default ***Spool problems***(clunking noise)

I own a Yokomo BD and a Hot Bodies Cyclone. I recently bought spools for both cars and when i install the spool it makes a clunking/chattering noise ONLY when turning on both cars. The sound increases when wheel is turned to full lock. I put in brand new cvds, checked bearings, put new rims/tires and the sound still is present. Any ideas on how to solve this problem will great or is this normal for spools?

Its common on most kits, all you can do is decrease the amount of throw in the servo.
If you lose steering use different tire combos to regain it. Also is may fre up over a period of using it but not completely.

+1, on better radios you have control over how much steering lock you can give the servo, too much and the driveshafts dont like it.
