Ladder chassis (similar to the WRC itallian car) carbon arms (like awesomatix) which still uses plastic hubs.....
That's my "guess"

If you look closely at that second picture, you can make out what would appear to be a rear shock tower, as well as an aerial mounted towards the front of the car.
Definitely two right side wheels and looking through the windows on the bodyshell, you can also see what appears to be a left rear wheel. I suspect there may be a left front wheel which the picture doesn't show.
The car also appears to use at least three body posts, I'm guessing a fourth is used at the left rear corner of the car, and topped off with traditional body pins.
So disappointing to see no real effort to progress chassis development.

Here's something from Red RC
Debuting the all new Schumacher Mi5 here this weekend, which because it is not the final production version the British company has asked us not to photograph, multiple British National Champion Chris Grainger set the 8th fastest time. A finalist at this event last year, Grainger said while putting the new car in the A-Main would be a dream result they have to be realistic but overall they are really pleased with how the car is working. Feature a number of hand made parts as production parts didn’t arrive in time, he said Phil Boots, who is responsible for the design of the car, has been busy making lots of notes on things which they can improve for the first production run of the new chassis.

Hope some manufacturer finally makes some development on the suspension...then I will buy that car. It they make a improved awesomatix style suspension but with normal dampers that should be a great start.
