Howdo all basically I have purchased a DCKITS class 120 I would just like to know if chipping either of these bogies is possible? Failing this I might half to butcher a RTR chassis

 

Thanks all in advance

No more difficult than any non-socket loco. I would advise putting extra pick-ups on the unpowered bogie. Hide the wires under the seats. I've done two so far, a 2H and a GRC&W MPV.

 

Not tried a 'spud' but many say the Black Beetle is the better of the two.
