Maybe in a couple of weeks I will....
 
Been waiting on back ordered parts from Vanquish so I haven't done much.

Big block has been pulled from the Warthog.

Some stuff trickled in earlier this week.

Since I didn't have the lockers yet, I went ahead and skipped to the tranny. Vanquish case, HR gears and ??? out drives were left over from a build I never completed years ago.

Inner ring to front ring is purely decorative.

Front bead lock to front ring.

Once inner ring is inserted into tire, it's just a matter of adding both the front and rear rings. Only 4 bolts holds it all together.

Some insane bad assness on some of those parts, truly jelious now.
 
That's some nice axles! Gonna be a sweet rig when it's done
 
A few pics got jacked up and are unusable. I did salvage a couple.

I used Traxxas rod ends on the shocks since they are more beefy and smooth.

Looking real good. You have to vent the rims or tires at all? Look like they are prolly crazy air tight.
 
And this build just made mine look Redcat status... haha looking good Rob, can't wait to see her gettin dirty!
 
And then......?
 
I guess all the mods have a Chris-Craft project somewhere...
