With a bit of modification it fits. But because the kit is made by AndyMark, there are lots of upgrades available. http://www.andymark.com/SearchResult...=AM14U_UPGRADE

However, I don't see our team using the kit chassis unless we modify it to be wider than the ball AND longer than the ball which it is not in either normal configuration.
