| In the center is the motor, underneath is the drive shaft. The top deck is semi "floating" with all joints being soft. This is really all the suspension the car has: note the sping near the front of the car and "floating" disk at the rear. The motor is bolted to the rear bulkhead which is bolted rigidly to the chassis. The upperdeck is not connected in anyway to the motor or rear bulkhead.
There is NO flex joint built in anywhere between the front arms and the chassis. The front-end bits are mounted rigidly to the chassis. Viewed: 849 times.

| There is a plastic bar that connects the rear pod to the rest of the chassis with soft joints. The extra holes in the rear pod are to lengthen the wheelbase. The extra holes near the front are to allow switching of the battery holder from one side of the chassis to the other. Viewed: 724 times.
