I reckon the gearbox needs opening up to get to the bottom of it properly. If you've checked the mesh and nothing else is visibly obvious, it needs a strip down.

20 minute job on a B4. Some will even do it blindfolded!!
Ok I took the dogbones out and ran and the noise is def coming from the gearbox.

Do you think since this model is only 2 weeks old and only been ran 3 times (first run was pretty silent, and noise from 2nd run onwards) i should just run it back to the modelshop? Cost me a fair whack so didnt know whether i should try get them to exchange or is this sort of thing normal?
