- Chassis: Composite chassis plate with a layout allowing for a perfect weight balance, and optimal space for the electronics, battery and servo. The front Kick-up angle in the Chassis provides more clearance and makes the car more forgiving in nose down landings.

- Carbon Fiber Front & Rear Shock Towers: The 4mm thick carbon fiber shock towers have multiple shock angle positions to fine tune the car for various track conditions.

- 12mm Big Bore Shock Absorbers: The dual system 12mm big bore shocks feature hard coated threaded shock bodies and a unique cap design, combined with a superb o-ring and spacer package. The Shocks can be used with either a Bladder or Emulsion setup and the kit includes a set of molded pistons to choose from. Shock Collars with inner o-rings are used on the threaded bodies to set-ride height and an optional set of 5 springs-sets is available to fine-tune the suspension settings.

- Front & Rear Track Rods: Spring steel front and rear track rods are mounted to durable composite captured ball joints. The track Rods have L/R threading for easy adjustments.

- Wheel-axles & Wheel Hex: The spring steel wheel-axles use a 12mm hex adapter to follow current market standards. The front spring steel axle is fixed, while the rear wheel-hex is a clamping aluminum version.

- Battery Space Mount & Weight Balance: The battery is mounted perfectly in the center line of the car. The design is optimized for saddle packs, but if a shorty type pack is used the battery can be moved forward or back to adjust the weight balance. Pieces of hard foam are included to secure the battery in position. The battery-top-brace has a secure quick release system with handy twist nuts.

- Rear Driveshaft System & Wheel Axles: The spring steel drive shafts are thin and light, yet durable. The spring steel wheel-axles are 5mm, light and durable, supported by 10x14x4mm inner and 5x13x4mm outer bearings. These bearings are for sure to stand up the rigors of any track condition. The driveshaft pin is fully captured to prevent any failure.

- Body Shell & Rear Wing: The light and low, cab-forward style body is molded from top quality clear polycarbonate and features a nice flowing line with a steep front windscreen for down force with indents in front of the windscreen. The shark fin on the roof of the cabin offers looks good and aids in stability. The polycarbonate rear wing utilizes raised sections in the sides to improve wheel clearance.
