Got the differential done. Can't go any further on the gearbox since I'm waiting on the ball bearings to arrive. I don't want to use bushings in this build.
Also got the tires mounted. Didn't come with foam inserts so I made a trip to the craft store for some h/d foam.

The clear plastic on the work area under the chassis is a thick piece of palycarbonate sheet I had from 23 years ago when I built these. I used to make chassis out of the sheets. -
