No problems with straight line running. Only while turning is this observed. I have a spool up front and new hb cyclone front steel universals and axles. I have also rebuilt the entire front end as per instructions and the problem persists. I think I am losing too much traction and speed on corners because of this. It is less noticeable without the front tires on the car but really bad with them on. I've tried different wheels/tires sets as well and it did not help and my wheel/tire sets are pretty much balanced.

Has anyone observed anything similar with their cyclones? I love my cyclone and hope someone can help. My 415 does not exhibit such vibrations.
I have had this problem too with my cyclone s with the stock dogbones so ordered the mip cvd's and it still chatters when steering in cranked but it doestnt seem to affect the handling when i race.I have heared of several brands of cars that do this but my 18r doesnt and is very smooth.
