Not sure why you're concentrating on the slipper, because unless you have a small rock or debris in the spur gear or a bad pinion (which I would guess you don't since you've changed them out) it would tell me that the "clicking noise" is not coming from the slipper/spurgear area but instead from the diff itself.

You don't mention that you've gone in and given it a thorough inspection and rebuild, and I would start there. Gear diffs can be kind of persnickity if not new and shimmed perfectly. (it's also why some guys have changed their tranny's out for T4 geaboxes so as to use a balldiff)

HELP!
1) Your B4 had a balldiff, your SC10 has a geardiff -- two entirely different animals.
2) by "upgrading" to the 10.5 brushless mill you're exasperating the problem by adding MORE power
3) the "loud clicking" you're making it do by turning one wheel by hand DEFINATELY IS a sign there is something amiss with your geardiff, and all the visual inspecting you're doing is just showing you're not quite sure what to look for. Lack of proper shimming is most likely the issue, but it could be that you've damaged the teeth and will need to replace the diff and/or its guts.
