Which version of GS02 chassis can take 287mm wheelbase?

I was thinking the cantilever rear shocks on a GS02 TA Pro might go well under an RC4WD hard body.

I've seen rear links for GS02 for a 287mm wheelbase, but the product page for the GS02 TA Pro and the GS02 TS chassis both say wheelbase 300mm, 313mm and 324mm

Is it only BOM that can go 287mm?

To answer the damn question: According to the info I can find from various retailers and Gmade, Yes only BOM takes GS02 to 287mm because of the cantilever box.

Getting at fitting a Gmade chassis under your RC4WD hardbody... GS01 chassis (Sawback) is 287mm in the box, comes in leaf or linked flavors, and is narrower. That last one you might have overlooked, as I did when I was first looking at alternatives to the TF2. Also, you'll likely have to cut a hole in that beautiful hardbody, or sit really high to accommodate the cantilevers.

BOM 240mm wide
Sawback 218mm wide
TF2 Marlin 221mm wide
(Got to compare to marlin as its got similar tires, Mojave being more scale has narrower tires)

I hadn't looked at the BOM and its Cantilevered shocks before, probably because axle width eliminated it for my needs. Just too wide, but I'm really liking all the options out of Gmade.
