Arrma Granite BLX latest model began making louder movement noise and after letting go of throttle the car slows down a bit faster than before the issue began. Any quick fix?

Check your pinion and slipper clutch. Something came loose!
 
Or the motor plate might have bent a little and made a tighter pinion/spur mesh. Won't know until you dig in 👍
You’ll see something like this if you bent the plate!🤔

Tried to open it and looked at numerous tutorials but could not make the motor bay move. Even tried using a screwdriver in between the motor and chassis to no effect. Any tips on what to do?

It's always annoying to remove after it's been in for a while. Pull the clip up and pry at it on either side it'll definitely come out

Just to confirm, you've already taken the red block out right?

I stick a flat screwdriver between the honeycomb part of the chassis and the motor module. Remember it’s plastic, don’t get too crazy. Make sure you release the clip at the top of the motor module before prying! Good luck. When the are new, they are tight as crap.
*note* MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE BATTERY STRAP BLOCK!🤷🏻‍♂️

know how to fix it. Where to buy replacement parts.
You can gently bend it back in a vise or with a hammer. I’ve bent quite a few of these myself. Best to just replace, bending back is a temporary fix IMO. (It’ll bend again) You can buy them at JRC, HH, Amain, etc.... Heck your LHS might have them. m2c makes a beefy plate, but it’s pricey.
