But you're right, the tool they supply isn't going to fit. You will have to get a thinner wall nut driver or possibly do the bushing thing like I did. Just don't strip the nut!
The plates are for the VE8. The chassis has replaceable front and rear clips. They make aluminum ones that strengthen the center part from cracking. If you do not run them on the hot bodies, you are pretty much guaranteed to break the stock chassis.
