Calandra Racing Concepts wins in Orlando!

CRC's Max Kuenning takes the win in World GT at the 2012 Snowbird Nationals

Max Kuenning enjoying the company of his new friends and the World GT Championship at the 2012 Snowbirds. Max used the CRC Gen-X10 LE (#1712)and CRC 6300 mah lipo (#3702) to power his way to a convincing win at the Birds!

At the 2012 Snowbird Nationals, the World GT class was well attended with a large number of competitors and teams entering the event. Michigan native and now New Mexico resident, Max Kuenning ran World GT with his new CRC Gen-X10 LE. In the A-main, 6 out of 10 cars were CRC machines with Brian Wynn, Jari Taskila, Frank Calandra, Randy Grosse and Dave Ehrlich joining Kuenning in the final.
Max took the lead early and never looked back with smooth lines and great power from the CRC 6300 mah single cell lipo. Max ran the car fairly stock, adding only the long upper front arm and mount as optional parts. Joining Max on the podium was CRC pilot, Jari Taskila in 3rd. Another great result from the flying Fin now living in Connecticut.

2012 Snowbirds Champion

The MOST winning World GT car in history, the CRC Gen-X10. Affordable, fast, easy to set up and
well supported. The Gen-X10 LE just keeps winning, now 2012 Snowbird Champ! This is Max's car
straight from post-race technical inspection. Missing the Revtech 13.5 motor which was still being
reviewed in tech.

With its comprehensive and accessible set of opportunities Plazma Ra is the ideal base for the club racing after work or the asset in the fight for top positions in the top-level racing.

The chassis is designed so that it can be equally used in the various categories such as Stock or Modified can. It has the Plazma Ra out of the kit has a very high basic speed. Finding the optimal setup is much easier to understand because the model reacts to all changes of each parameter.

Power transfer in Plazma Ra is 1:1 from the engine to the rear axle. All drive components are very easily kept in order to keep the moving mass as low as possible and the power transfer as efficient as possible to make. The dynamics of the Plazma Ra sets a new standard, the border area has become much more tangible and the cornering speeds are breathtaking.

The chassis is made of highly compressed carbon fiber CNC machined and formed the basis of Plazma Ra. The chassis plate is designed to accommodate car-for LiPo batteries. All holes are symmetrical to the chassis longitudinal axis in order to achieve a perfect chassis balance.

SAKURA FGX - Formula Generation X

Another true innovation by 3 Racing, the FGX short for Formula Generation X is the first and most unique 1/10th F1 chassis since the 3 Racing F109 with it’s successful innovative rear dampening system. With the goal to create the most unique and realistic Formula 1 chassis while not compromising handling, the FGX was created from the ground up and basically shares zero parts with the F109 or anything else currently available.

Suspension - F1 inspired
The FGX employs both front and rear independent suspension systems which truly distinguishes itself from all current Formula 1 chassis currently available. The rear end uses laydown oil filled coil spring dampeners similar to that found in today's real F1 cars. The entire rear suspension system is fully adjustable with the same adjustability you'd find in today's touring cars, namely toe in/out, camber, anti roll bars, caster, track width etc.

The Front suspension has maintained the used of the simple kingpin and coil spring system like traditional pan car style F1 chassis but features more realistic suspension arms modeled after the Ferrari F60. The molded suspension arms provides a strong and realistic front suspension system while still providing the adjustability of camber and caster by simply loosening a few screws.

Steering
The FGX features a fully adjustable bell crank steering system which allows you to adjust Ackermann angle in small increments through the use of collar spacers, the same way you'd find on most touring cars.

Drivetrain
The FGX features a mid-rear mounted motor virtually identical to its real life counterpart giving it the best weight distribution possible. Since a direct drive system would not be suitable for a rear independent suspension system, the FGX uses a similar 3 gear gearbox design found in the race proven 3 Racing Sakura FF allowing it to position the motor in the very center of the chassis. This also provided the added ability for the FGX to be equipped with a more robust gear diff or a traditional ball diff unit and the use rebuildable universal driveshafts with protective blades.

Upper Deck
The FGX features a one piece composite molded upper deck which also forms part of the front suspension unit giving it a raised nose cone similar to that of a real F1 car. The one piece upper deck also features chassis flex adjustability where stiffeners can be installed to increase the car's agility and rigidity.

Wing/Spoiler
The one piece front wing and nose tip was given a modular design just like its life size counterpart making changing front wing and nose cone fast and easy.
The rear wing features adjustable flap angels and realistically modeled after the Ferrari F60 with the added touch to allow the installation of a wet race LED tail light just like it's real life counterpart.

Battery Compartment
Longitudinally mounted battery for optimal weight distribution, battery compartment features easy access system, changing batteries only requires the loosening of one screw and has been designed to accept most high capacity lip batteries.

Wheels
The FGX will use its own wheels with its face pattern modeled after the Ferrari F60 plus a more realistic offset allowing it to fully optimize it's independent suspensions and better shock absorption, the FGX will feature wheels for both foam and rubber tires catering for all markets and race conditions.

Rubber Tires sold seperately.

New Parts from CRC

noreply@blogger.com (Action Model Centre) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 17:36:00 +0000

New Product Release - November 2011

"Brace Yourself" Edition

New this month from CRC is a batch of products designed to make your Gen-Xi, XL, X10 and X10LE more adjustable, rigid, strong and true. CRC has a line of carbon fiber front end braces for both 1:12th and 1:10th Gen-X cars. Most are in stock and ready to ship.

Reverse/flat servo mount plate for the Gen-X10 and 10LE

#17402 - Standard (med) width

#17403 - Wide width

These new reverse servo mount plates allow for more room to move the battery back and forth in the CRC Gen-X 10 and 10LE. The servo is now flipped to the front and mounted flat, lowering the CG and lightening the car. Also, more space is now open to put all the components inline and/or move the battery further forward. Direct bolt on with the stock front end screws. Will need P/N 3315 - Flat servo mounts and 1424 - 1/4 in. flat head screws to reverse mount the servo.

Suggested Retail Price - $15.99

17402 - UPC - 800734174028

17403 - UPC - 800734174035

17402 + 17403 - Lower Front End Brace - standard and wide

Shown here is the new 1776 3-piece Multi-brace and the lower 17403 wide reverse/flat servo mount plate.

1776 - New 3-piece Multi-brace for the ProStrut Front end on the Gen-X10, 10LE.

Typically, a front end brace is used for high grip applications to stabilize and strengthen the front end. The brace reduces chassis flex. This new brace for the Gen-X10/LE car features adjustable width to handle the medium (standard) and wide width front end placement as well as provisions for long and short arm. It is actually 4 parts in one! Just remove the button head screws out of the center section and change the brace width to match your car's width and arm length. Complete with hardware. (part displayed above)

Suggested Retail Price - $16.99

UPC - 800734017769

3276 + 3278 - Front end cross braces for the Gen-X, XL and Xi.

Much like the 10th scale version, a front end brace is a great benefit for high grip applications. For the 1:12th car, we use 2 different braces, the wide brace for the short arm and the narrow brace for the long front end arms. The 3276 is the longer brace that is used for the short upper arms. The 3278 is a shorter piece used with the long upper A-arm. In addition to an increase in stability, the brace keeps the front end aligned in big crashes. Simple add on part with hardware included.

Both the 3276 and 3278 come with hardware

Mounted 3276 on the new Gen-Xi

Longer 3276 for short upper arms. Shorter 3278 for long upper A-arms.

3276 - $10.99 - UPC 800734032762

3278 - $9.99 - UPC 800734032786

1762 - Extended rear shock mount top plates for the Gen-Xi.

The new Gen-Xi features optional rear shock positions. You can utilize these positions by lengthening the shock. Or these new extended rear top plates can be use to move the rear shock forward in .25 inch and .5 inch increments. Typically, when the rear shock is mounted more forward, more mid and exit steering is achieved. It is a quick simple change that can be done to alter the handling of the car.

Sold as a set of 2. With .25 inch and .5 inch movement that matches the hole pattern on the Xi.

The .5 option top plate shown below mounted on the Gen-Xi. Notice the forward antenna/shock mount matching the longer rear plate.

4022 - Super flexible sensor wire - 50 mm

New from CRC is a super short sensor wire made in the same soft flexible material. Great for the applications where the speedo and motor are very close.

4022 - Super soft sensor wire - 50 mm

4022 - $5.95 - UPC 800734040224

Calandra Racing Takes 2 at the 2011 Halloween Classic!

noreply@blogger.com (Action Model Centre) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:33:00 +0000

Calandra Racing Takes 2 at the 2011 Halloween Classic!

Johnson and Buran T.Q. and Win!

The Annual Halloween Classic event in Ohio has been held in many different venues over the long history of the race. From the early days on the westside of Cleveland, to the Mentor area, Strongsville and now in the hands of the Gate in Brunswick, Ohio, the race has bounced around the area. One thing that has not changed over the years is the high level of competition at the event. In addition to a strong field of talent, the event was sold out for 2011. The venue ran out of physical space at 180 entries, simply could not fit another racer, an incredible turnout.

In the 17.5 class for 1:12th scale, Michigan pilot David Johnson took his new CRC Gen-Xi to an impressive T.Q. and win. Dave got his car just in time for the event and both he and the car were quickly dialed in. Dave used CRC tires and a CRC/Black Art R8C body to capture the victory. Dave used the standard cross pack arrangment with the inline speedo/servo position. Over half of the A-main included CRC cars including the top 3 qualifiers; Kenny Lambert 2nd and Chuck Lonergan 3rd. A strong result in one of the largest classes at the event.

CRC Gen-Xi, Pro Cut tires and Black Art R8C body. Dialed!

In the WGT class, 2009 winner of the Halloween Classic, CRC driver Aaron Buran, took his CRC Gen-X10 LE to another T.Q. and win. Aaron used a fairly conventional and stock Gen-X10 LE to again take the victory at the Halloween Classic. The CRC Rocket Fuel pack 3701 and the 1785 font stiffener brace were used in Aaron's win. A great result from the Ohio driver.

Buran's T.Q. and winning CRC Gen-X 10 LE

Team CRC Sweeps both Pan Car Classes at the

2011 ROAR Asphalt Nats!

Team CRC's Andrew Knapp backs up his 2011 ROAR Carpet Nats Win with another win at the Asphalt Nats!

Rui Goncalves backs up his 2011 ROAR Region 2 TQ & Win with a National Title!

Click "read more" for the Driver's reports...

The 2011 ROAR Asphalt Nationals was held at one of the finest asphalt tracks in the US, Jackson RC in Jackson, NJ.
Ran by Al Sodano, Greg Sharpe and club members; it features a high driver stand above the club house with a great view of the track at any spot. The weather was not cooperating as it rained a little 2 days of the event. All of the racing was still completed, but the track conditions were not consistent day to day.

In 12th scale, it was Andrew Knapp's first time ever on asphalt with a 12th scale, so "I didn't know what to expect." With a little help from teammate and fellow podium finisher, Joel Johnson (3rd); Andrew figured it out in a hurry as he won the first three rounds of qualifying in the Qual-Points format, securing himself the TQ spot. Andrew consistently set the fastest lap in every round of qualifying as well. "No other car could compete with the speed that the Gen XL can hold in the corners!" In the triple A mains, Andrew took the wins in A1 and A2, and even lapped the entire field in A2.

Good Job "Android", and Congratulations on your second ROAR National Title this year!

Following his Electric Paved ROAR Region 2 TQ and win in World GT, Rui Goncalves gets the win at the 2011 Electric ROAR Paved Nationals!

In the first round of qualifying, EJ Evans from TOP USA took the honors followed by Rui Goncalves in a close second. In the second round, Rui Goncalves took the TQ spot evening the 2 up in the qual-points battle. EJ ended up TQ'ing rounds 3 and 4, and Rui would put in 2 more solid runs to put him second on the grid for the main event. The A-main was short lived for the TQ driver as he had some problems on lap 1 which sent Rui into the lead where he ran for the remainder of the race. With the TQ out of the way, no one else had enough to challenge Rui as he drove away in dominant fashion in search of his first National Title.

Congratulations Rui!!!

12R5.1 LiPo Conversion Kit

July 8, 2011

The RC12R5 chassis has been optimized for 1S LiPo batteries, with the following additional enhancements:

Inline battery positioning generates a lower polar moment of inertia for smoother mid-corner steering in high traction conditions
Lengthened wheel base for added stability
Front bulkhead mounting position widened to give more options for upper control arm length and added adjustability for multiple track and motor conditions
Updated rear upper pod geometry increases leverage on center shock to help compensate for the lighter minimum overall chassis mass when using LiPo batteries
Stronger blue aluminum chassis braces
Thicker 3mm rear chassis brace gives extra support for rear body posts ad side springs

Available August 2011

New Products!!! - June 2011

New Speedsport line of LiPo batteries from CRC

Click "read more" to check them out!!!

Team CRC's Maxxcell LiPo batteries have been enjoying huge success in the racing scene for the past couple of seasons. With big wins in both on-road and off-road events, the Maxxcell line has proven that they are top caliber performers. Unfortunately for the hobbyist, backyard basher, or casual club racer; those couple extra hundredths of a volt, few extra seconds of runtime, and slightly lower IR numbers can really increase the cost of the battery packs. For those enthusiasts that have really been wanting to try out CRC batteries, but couldn't justify shelling out the coin for top level "Factory Team" racing packs, Team CRC's new Speedsport line of LiPo batteries are just the answer you've been looking for.

Team CRC's Speedsport line of LiPo batteries offer great battery packs at an even better price. These batteries pack a huge punch for your vehicle, NOT your wallet. Their performance is already being proven as they have won a weekly club race at CRC Raceway in the 13.5 2wd SCT class; and they have survived some serious bashing from one of our favorite "back-flipping" local drivers.

Ask your local retailer about Team CRC Speedsport batteries today, and start enjoying top level performance at an entry level price!

Currently available in the 3 variations shown below, but more will be added to the line-up soon! Including 2s and 3s packs for mini's, as well as a 96mm 2s pack for 10th scale vehicles with smaller battery compartments, or just for anybody looking to shed a little weight from their vehicle.
