This was biult by me (Tom Mach). It has a fully working suspension - and can be dropped onto the table from 2"-3" up! Not recommended on a regular basis. Wheels actually decend - when picking up model. (much as a 1:1 car would when being raised on a lift) So - not only is the suspension 'robust', it is has 'to scale' spring rates and travel. It was very difficult to achieve this balance. - Tom
