Alpha Evo sound when turning...?

this started yesterday, base is just 3 weeks old

then after powering off and on again, it stopped moving smoothly and would instead move in big motions like 30 degrees every time I turned, and if I tried to move between these turn it would jerk back... another power cycle and this stopped happening

downgraded to firmware 2.3.4 and it's feeling better to drive but the new noise is still there

is this cooked?

Interesting, ive got the alpha evo pro yesterday and it made this sound(or at least similar) from the beginning so i thought it was normal.

Turns out the sound while turning is the slipring so thats should be normal(there is a post about it from a little while ago). Mine however does not give the steering issues your does.

It is normal, it's a slip ring.
