Hi captainpalatine welcome to the forum In regards to your question i cannot see why not as long as you strenghten the pieces with more plastic or better still metal bolted to each piece from behind. I know on some of the german forums that they have cut and chopped chassis up check out these links http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com...?threadid=2071 and http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com...?threadid=9856 and this one probably shows the best way http://www.rc-panzerketten-forum.com...?threadid=9109 watch the video at the bottom of the first page in the last link titled M88 Augsburg 2007 it shows how strong the chassis must be
