Based on the TRF501X chassis, the DB01's 4WD system features a centrally-located spur gear driving two belts. Both the spur gear and drive belts are protected by plastic covers that prevent dirt and debris from interfering with the drivetrain. Front and rear bulkheads are integrated with the chassis, simplifying construction and maintenance. To ensure the chassis can handle the stresses of off-road racing, it is made from fiberglass-reinforced nylon material for greater strength. Furthermore, the underside of the chassis is completely flat, enabling excellent skid characteristics.
