US Custom Mustang - Common Chassis Details
All	Bases came from two Tools, to tell them apart from the outside easily:
	Tool #1 - USA	Small Rear Differential, PATENT PEND Strong Pas Frt wheel well diff, one sticks out
	Tool #2 - USA	Large Rear Differential, ND in PATENT PEND very weak Pas Frt wheel well diff, one sticks out
The primary base difference came from changing paint schemes and colors Driveshaft small gaps - There are small gaps that can appear in the line, this appears to be caused by deformation from the Post spin process while the base sat in the nest. In later use of the base, the gap disappears suggesting a change to whatever was deforming it.
