So turns out the ticking noise was from the wheel weight! :S Such a simple little thing causing so much noise!
Also im going to attempt to fix the exhaust issue im having. The ultrex exhaust is hitting the body near the rear of the car. There is one bracket at the front of the exhaust that is near the gearbox. Should there be a bracket at the back of the exhaust before the muffler? There isn’t one there at the moment, so thinking of making one up. Is there a certain point towards the back or the car that would be good for an exhaust bracket?
