Direct-Drive 2WD Chassis
Based around an ABS plastic bathtub, with space frames front and rear and FRP plates, the chassis is a composite design that offers a rigid base to back up the fluid suspension: the result is a crisp, responsive driving experience. At the front, it has an independent coil-sprung king pin suspension setup, while the rear rigid suspension is a 3-point design with a 1.5mm thickness FRP T-bar and single CVA oil damper; teamed up with sponge tires front and rear, they ensure superb traction on smooth asphalt and carpeted surfaces. Additionally, use of spacers allows two different front and three rear ground clearance setups.
