By RAW, I would say that you can't put Rocket Boosters/Jump Jets on any vehicle without a Chassis modifier as you can't figure out the maximums.

As a reasonable interpretation, letting folks in your games use the numbers for Standard Chassis for any ground wheeled vehicle type that doesn't use the Chassis modifiers seems fair.

More uncommon vehicles get into more questions and I don't have a lot of experience with all of their Car Wars forms or their real-life counterparts, so I'll just throw out some food for thought:

Would Hovercraft reasonably be able to point Rocket Boosters in the four main directions and just throw the acceleration into their normal math functions?

Would tracked vehicles just slide a bit and not actually speed up, making Rocket Boosters useless?

Are Airships just too darn big?
