WRC GTX 1/8th nitro on-road kit

Following a first teaser Italian company WRC now officially introduce the GTX 1/8th scale nitro on-road car. No features list is available at this time so we have to rely on what we can spot on the images WRC have supplied. By the looks of things the GTX is based on a class-standard aluminium chassis with carbon fibre upper deck, it features aluminium suspension mounts, front and rear wire anti-roll bars, long threaded aluminium shock absorbers and aluminium bulkheads. The wheel are held in place by lightweight (screw-type?) retainers instead of class-standard quick release levers. The remainder of the car appears to be of a pretty standard design and it is understood that the kit will hit the stores very soon.
