Based on an ABS plastic bathtub, with front and rear space frames and FRP plates, the chassis is a composite design that provides a stiff base to support the suspension in motion: the result is a fast, responsive driving experience. At the front, the car features an independent coil-spring suspension, while the rigid rear suspension is a 3-point design with a 1.5 mm thick FRP T-bar and a unique oil-filled shock. Combined with front and rear foam tires, they provide great traction on smooth asphalt and carpeted surfaces. In addition, the use of spacers allows two different ground clearance settings at the front and three at the rear.
