Yes it is normal if you extend the endpoint to the maximum travel (about 28 degrees on a setup station). The chatter is coming from the CVD's because they are new and they are being extended past there maximum angle range. However, it is not necessary to have all this travel when setting up your steering throw and you will not be missing out on having enough steering if you reduce the amount of steering throw the car has. Another benefit of having reduced steering throw is you should notice reduced front tire wear as well. This is because when you go to turn the car it’s not scrubbing in the turn, but it’s actually steering in the direction of the turn.

My suggestion is you put the car on a setup station and adjust the steering throw endpoints on the transmitter (for the outside wheel) to around 18 to 20 degrees, and this should eliminate or greatly reduce the chatter. I also in most circumstances run my dual rate around 80% as well and it is rare that I need to dial in more steering.

Hope this helps...

And if you want to get rid of the chatter, then put some of HB's thick A grease in the out drives (I know it comes with the spool kit, I dont know if theres a part number for it or not) Thats where all the chatter is coming from

But 2 Bad's right, the 18-20 deg of the set up station is what to do, and then tune your car to get more steering....

Interesting to see that they are saying the next Worlds will be at Bangkok... I thought it was yet to be decided between RCS in Bangkok and TRC in Trang?
