Also could be the hub itself. I had a cart last week making the same noises. As the RXVs use the motor for breaking there is more stress on the hubs than the txt carts. Like iamrcox suggested, remove the wheel and see if the hub is loose at all. If it is snug, pull the hub and look for wear. If it doesn't look too bad, cover the axle with some grease and put the hub back on, tighten to roughly 150ft lbs and try it. If the noise is gone, you need a hub or it was loose. You will have to decide if you want to go ahead and replace it. If the noise is still there, time to look at the bearing.
