Need your help with a strange sound

When I put the lift and large tires on my atv I went on the first test ride behind my house. The field was soft so when I gave the bike full throttle from a stand still I hear what seems to be the belt slipping. It sounds like the belt is trying to grab. Kinda like when you hit the brakes and you hear the pads grabbing the disk. (Hope that makes sense). I launched the bike a couple times trying to figure out the sound but after 3 or 4 attempts it went away.

Forward to now. I went on a ride yesterday and it did the same thing. After a couple launches it went away. But now I have a new belt and qsc. So I’m starting to think it might not be the belt. But it dose seem to go way with what seems to be when it warms up

These are the ideas and thoughts I’ve come up with

I don’t think it’s a rattle because it would happen all the time
If it’s mechanical it should happen all the time
Maybe it’s the front diff trying to engage
I have a stock secondary could it be the secondary slipping
It only happens in the beginning of the ride when it’s kinda cold out

I’m going to drop the oil out of the front and rear diff to see if anything stands out

I’m also going to try and post a video of the sound.
