Default Clicking Noise on Esc Cos??

Well, Ive done over 100miles in the Esc Cos now and a clicking noise seems to of started, which I believe is coming from from left side. It normally happens when pulling away and the car judders on each click and feels as if the wheel is being pulled back if ya get me?

Anyone got suggestions what could cause this??

It was fine before I blew the gearbox up

**EDITED to say** The center prop donut is worn and ripped in places, but all bolts appeared to be tight and in place! We couldn't remove the bolts holding it to the prop, but Ive got an impact gun now so will be changing it today or tomorrow!

She's got vibra-technic engine mounts and adjustable track control arms?? Dont see how either of them would fook up from box going bang, then being removed and refitted?? Im thinking driveshaft, but same principle of how that could fook up after the box went bang??

Cheers for the info tho

@ BBal...

Cheers Jim, will check em tomorrow but dont think its that! Sounds like the shaft is getting stuck and clicking back into place. Also does it when I put me foot down slightly??? Will do some tests tomorrow and see what comes up

when I put me foot down slightly


you use gas pedal like a on off switch , slightly



your almost as bad as ya brother ( though thats not posable as jb has got to have the biggest bollocks in all car modifying )


i dont belive ya tried slightly, i recon you pull away gently at 5000rpm and rag the car at 12000


your cars sound like ya raggin bike engines
