Guessing this may be normal.....the body resonating and amplifying drive train noise. GRRRrrr....
The noise will not stop me from spending endless hours crawling, but you should know your life could be better, more rewarding, better income, improved relationships and even re-growth of hair.... here is how.
I ripped off the body of my VW, masked the windows and sprayed the inside with rubberized undercoating (from the windows down) three times. Now the inside is black (ain't no light shining through the coating ever again), body is a bit heavier, and yes, I did not spray the roof (top heavy issues, though this is not a comp rig) and other than motor and gear train noise when accelerating (minor at worst) the body noise is pretty non-existent now. So impressed that I did the same thing to my HPI Toyota body and got the same results. I lost all the hollow "thunking" sound. Really sounds pleasant now, crawling is much nicer. While the added weight really is not noticeable (by me anyway) I am sure there are those who will nit pick this, I ain't going back.
Pay attention, you are not going to hear me sneaking up on you again.......
