The Schumacher Mi5 has always been a popular chassis, and the EVO spec had looked formidable at some races with Andy Murray at the sticks.

We are pleased to introduce to you the new Schumacher Mi6 1/10th Competition Touring Car!!!

The new Mi6 from Schumacher born from the multi national championship winning ‘Mi’ platform. Superbly engineered and equipped as standard with some awesome new equipment, the Mi6 enables set up changes to be made simply and quickly.

Designed for both carpet and asphalt tracks the new Mi6 bearing pivot points offer sensationally free wishbones with no slop and with an even lower centre of gravity the Mi6 carries even more corner speed.

Although still as responsive and nimble to drive as ever, the Mi6 gives class leading consistency and durability, superb for all levels of driver.

With a massive attention to detail the all new Schumacher Mi6 leads the way in 2016.
