Well I ran into a problem with the rc4wd wheels, it seems like the pin slot is too deep so it just crams the hub into the axle and then the wheel won't even move. E-mailed rc4wd already, I will get that dealt with.
But I did get the stock wheels and tires put together, along with starting to make some chains. I wasn't sure how they were going to look or work, but they don't look too bad to me anyways.
Thanks to ecoli I should be up and running sometime this week as he offered me an esc.
Less talk, more pics.
Well my beadlock fetish got the best of me and a set of these are on their way into the mill:

Won't see them for another month or so but I have time!
