i'm thinking it's the one way front "diff"?????

this is when the car is up on a rack and i'm listening and looking at it closely.
And has been said before... ignore it!

It's do to with the fact that the CVD's are not true constant volecity joints, and there is always a little binding in their action. Doing it without any load and a spool will only make it more apparent. It will happen with every car on the market that uses the CVD-style driveshafts.

It really isn't something to worry about, and given the only set of dual-CVD's that seemed to be reliable were on my old Losi, I've never bothered looking at other solutions.... to put it another way (maybe a little tenuous), but the 416 won two IFMAR worlds with those CVD's up front...
