Default Little help with an RC8TE

Have an rc8te with very little run time on it (also my first rc in a loooong time). Just redid the center diff with 10k to cut down front tire ballooning (helped a lot). But first run out I developed a "grinding" or "popping" under hard acceleration where it seems to lose a little power. I can not re-create the problem on the workbench. Also when I spin just one tire by hand with the other three & center locked down nothing gives..... so nothing obvious is loose.

So basically just looking for any advice before I start taking things apart as you guys have a LOT more experience than I do.

Also what kind of life can I expect out of my drivetrain? Running 5s mm2200kv on pavement for now???
