Probably the belt rubbing on the steering post.
Hold the car with the right side up, turn the wheel and throttle it.
If the belt rubs, tight'n it.
Holding it up right will be like making a hard right turn.
Also the less throw in steering travel will make the dog bones wear better, and corner smoother, with less resistance.

Are you running on carpet???
If so, or you're running foams at all... it could be that they are rubbing on your lower shock collars.
Check with the car stationary whether, at full lock, the wheels rub on the shocks. If they do, reduce your travel so that they miss by 2mm or so, just to be sure.
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Robbie

If you find its nothing rubbing, and if you put your CVD's together try take a little bushing lube and put a few drops in the CVD, if the CVD quiets down you need to open up the axle side of the cvd socket with a grinder; or keep it lubed until it stops doing it (wears itself in.)
Both my cars did this in situations where I had to have the EPA 100%. Might be your issue too.

hey guys thanks for all of the tips i'm gonna try them and see if it works. i already tried tightening the belt i have a feeling it's hitting the steering post in the middle. it first started with one one of the CVD's being loose and then i tightened it and i thought it would be fixed but that wasn't it. i'm going to try some of your tips and see what works. thanks for all of the help.

i am running on carpet with foams and i already looked at the shocks and wheels NOTHING is rubbing anywhere! i took apart the CVD's and rebuilt them

I can just about guarantee you its the CVD's. Lots of cars do this. Here is how you fix it. Turn down your EPA about 5-10%. You don't want them to full lock.

i checked all of the CVD's but there's nothing binding. and i turned the epa down but than i can't go around the turns on the track as well it takes the turns wider. i do love the car it's a great upgrade from a TC3 OF COURSE. i have an m8 and a futaba s9550 servo. i'm trying everything i no and there are guys at the track helping me but no one knows. it must be the CVD's.

If your lacking turn in from turning the EPA down, just set your front wheels with a hint of toe out
