Since 1993, Calandra Racing Concepts (CRC) has been producing the finest model racing cars
and products in the world. The production team that made your new Xti is not comprised of
simple factory workers looking to get home from work after a long boring day. Instead, when
our staff leaves their workstations for the day, they typically go to the track to work on, enjoy,
drive and race the products they just had a hand in making.

make the most popular indoor racing surface, CRC Fasttrak carpet. We produce the most
popular barrier system, CRC Clik Trak. Our racing tires, CRC Pro Cuts, have won national and
world championships. We have indoor and outdoor race tracks and a retail hobby store. We
meet new racers and learn what they need . Our products are distributed throughout the world
and typically feature very competitive pricing. We strive to keep the hobby fun, affordable and
yet stay very competitive in racing.
