The car is driven by a torque transmission from the gearbox to the wheels via two drive shafts. Anthers internal hinges are made of rubber, and external - Thermoplastic (thermoplastic is more resistant to external influences). Each shaft consists of three main parts: the internal hinge (type "tripod"), directly to the shaft and an outer constant-velocity joint (CV joint). The internal hinge shaft is secured by a locking ring. The outer hinges of both shafts (CV joints) terminate splined shafts that are splined hubs driving wheels. Shafts are fixed on wheel nuts.
