though there is nothing stopping you from trying. a program like google sketch up is free and gives you enough options to draw up bulkheads, strut towers, chassis pans and decks. you could go as far as designing more complex parts like steering knuckles, differentials, shock bodies ect, but why bother. there are any number of those parts on the market that work just fine already and cost nothing.. control arms for my tc5 were $5/pair. designing my own would be a rather pointless process unless i wanted them out of some other material and didnt wanna pay the price for alu ones.

you could very easily design your own chassis parts, and just bolt up factory mechanics to them.
I plan to do this to make a nitro tc5 sometime down the road by making a custom chassis pan and mishmashing parts from ntc3 and tc5 together.



there are custom cars on this forum though. also check out custom scale modelers forums.
