Italian company WRC Racing has introduced the new STX.6 1/10th 190mm electric touring car kit.

New for the .6 kit are lower CG carbon fibre shock towers, a new low-profile steering servo mount and a highly adjustable quick change battery retaining system that does away with the need to use fibre-reinforced tape to secure the battery pack.
