Those look really good! Are the wheels black or silver with the silver beadlock ring?

| Thanks. They're black. I'm pretty sure these are the most pimpinest wheels I've ever owned, rc or otherwise |

Got the tires mounted up. I was a little worried that the 475 hubs would make it too wide, but I like the width. The mailman also brought me some goodies today |

Yes Vanquish is the "Lexus" class of rc crawler wheels. Nice choice as well. I also am planning for the same ARB covers. Good stuff.

It's been tough finding time to work on this thing the last few days, with the holiday & working all weekend, but I managed to get a few things done. Installed Robinson tranny gears, & a 60t 32p spur gear & ARB diff covers. Got my winch bumper from MG200 on Saturday. It's pretty sweet, but I should have had him build one with extra clearance for the servo. When I have the shocks laid back in the last hole, the crossbar on the bumper hits the servo case with about 3/8" inch of shock travel left. When the shocks are in the first hole, it still hits, but the shocks are almost fully compressed. I might have to modify the servo plate or make a new one to move the servo back a little. Getting a thin servo horn might help too. I also need to trim the hood a little. |

Got the bumper painted yesterday & mounted this morning. Mounting the winch was tricky with my big knuckledragger fingers, but I remembered I had some small hemostats laying around somewhere & that did the trick. I trimmed off the "grille" since it was in the way. Also got the front & rear lights mounted up. Now all I need is my motor & esc, & I think she'll be ready to hit the trails |

Like Muddywaters, I got my email from Mr Holmes saying my motor & esc are on the way. I can't wait!! I thought I'd see what it looks like with black beadlock bolts instead of the shiny ones. I think I like it |
