The main upper deck part can be custom made tho. The problem that I´d experienced while trying to create my own custom chassis was that I couldnt find any compatible connecting shafts, nor a viable way of using the front sway bar with it. Both problems were cleverly solved by tamiya as can be seen in the FF04´s manual, published by Kentech. The part, which is separated from the upper deck main carbon strip is the BA33 (front bulkhead), the shafts are the BC11 (center posts) and BB29 (steer posts).
The only problem is if rear bulkhead lower deck holes are not the same as the XV-01´s rear diff´s and at the same time, are just close enough that we can´t drill our owns either, without intercepting the existing ones.
