Default SC10 Diff/Slipper - Loud Clicking Noise

Been having problems with my SC10 slipper. Getting a very loud clicking noise under acceleration. I thought it was obviously a stripped gear in the diff, so I took the diff apart cleaned everything and refilled with diff oil rather than black grease as per the SC10 kit manual. All the gears were in perfect condition.

So I then looked at the slipper, the spur gear is fine, the pads, I took out a roughed them up with some low grit paper, but to be honest, the pads aren't too bad. I noticed that the inner alloy slipper cover has a rub mark where it has been rubbing on the motor plate, everything else looks fine including the idler gear and shaft. The slipper spring and nut is fine also. I have tried the slipper adjustment, loose then tight, then put it back to stock setting, 3 turns from flush.

But still the truck sounds awful when lamping the throttle, any idea ? The truck is still fairly new and this was the first time I've had the diff and slipper rebuilt.

But the click noise is driving me crazy, really does sound like a stripped gear, but the gears are fine.
