Default Summit popping noise

So i just picked up used summit. It has been sitting for awhile and i took a chance on buying it. Anyway i ran it and i hear this popping/crackling noise that is very random. It sounds like plastic being spread apart and slapping back together.

Ive been in the hobby for a long time and it does not sound like diffs clicking or the ring and pinion clicking. It doesnt mean its not but i dont think so.

Anyone have any idea what it could be? Maybe its a common thing that iam unaware of.

Thanks

the rear diffs bearings are shot. replace them before they destroy the diff case, ring and pinion.

And be sure to check and shim the diff gears as needed too.
