I bought a Fly Porsche 917/10 a while ago, which I was keen on replacing the chassis entirely with either a brass or 3D printed one. I decided on using an Olifer chassis. I cut the side pods off the chassis and will glue those to the body next. I'll probably retain the sidewinder configuration. It looks fairly straight forward, but if anyone can throw in a few tips or gotchas I might run into along the way that would be great.

Dogsbody, the Olifer chassis can be used as sidewinder & inline. Code, no real tips, pretty straight forward.

This would have been my tip ,attach the body and the chassis with screws and then glue together , Then just cut the body off along the "seem" and it is perfectly aligned ,easy.Courtney Smith

Hello Code, A little late now, but , in the future you may want to use either "plastic weld" or plain styrene model cement on styrene bodies...............a much better/stronger join.
