I decided to make my own split top decks to increase flex (as seen on a few pros buggies). I didn't want to pay out for new decks and a spare for the short front one isn't available on its own so I got some carbon sheet and made my own. And here is the result of a few hours and dremel bits work.
I also did away with the aerial mount holes as I don't use them. I've still got to make the gap in the front one wider and make an original ball diff front one.

Looks like a nice job Chris. Also, if you want some more flex you can undo the top deck screws that go into the gearboxes very slightly. Also, removing some screws from the side braces helps. I just use one at either end and in the middle.
