Yes, the touring chassis accepts common upgrade parts like aluminium shocks and hardened drive components, which help long term durability and fine handling adjustments.
Drain fuel, remove the glow battery, protect metal parts with light oil, and keep the body and chassis in a cool, dry place to prevent warping and corrosion.
