I know it's nothing compared to guys who basically make their entire car from scratch and almost every single part is custom (thinking of the ROSSA speed run dudes), but I'm really happy with its performance, and it has been a very fun journey so far
When I was really into RC's my tools for making custom parts was a sharpie, a dremel, and a pair of pliers to hold the metal/plastic while I cut it down... ok I also used a cheap band saw(cost me like $60 years ago, and still works) sometimes when I had to remove a lot of material. For designing I did TONS of CAD work (Cardboard Assisted Design) to design parts like shock towers, and even chassis's
As long as you are happy that is all that matters.
