Similar to the full-scale monster trucks, the TXT-1 has a ladder type frame made of high quality machined aluminum. The gearbox acts as a stress member and ties the chassis together for an extremely rigid working suspension. To maintain both performance and realistic appearance, the Juggernaut 2 drive train is incorporated. All new output shafts and modified propeller joints with dual set screws transfer power to the heavy-duty solid axles. The gearbox has additional bracing that also acts as a heat sink.

The suspension featuring a four-link solid axle is just like the type found on full-scale monster trucks. The suspension links are made of high quality aluminum tubing with plastic ball cup ends for fully articulated movement and to reduce chassis roll, front and rear stabilizer bars are standard. Dampening is provided by four high volume oil filled coil over shocks with a unique cantilever push rod design. This feature allows the axles to clear the most extreme angles and provides long travel.
