What happened if you bled off a bit of speed? Still making noise?
Edit: a thought. Don’t the lateral g-forces rise and fall through the cycle of a turn? As opposed to the constant force applied by a crosswind into a sail, basically. That would have an effect on wear.
It can also have both things going on simultaneously I believe. So your truck probably was counter steering and driving on the slip angle while also sliding a bit laterally as speed/gusts occur.
Finally, I ride in slip angle all the time in sim. It’s that incredibly light highly maneuverable feeling while seemingly on rails (the track rubber usually). It feels like the kart is on its toes.
