The CRC WTF-1 just qualified and finished 1-2 at the Snowbird Nationals. With 4 cars in attendance, we qualified 1-2-4-5 and finished 1-2. This version was the pre-production car and we are now full steam ahead getting these cars out and available.

The diff is based off our 1/12 + 1/10th pan cars, carbon fiber, light and strong. The design is different from other mfg's using carbon fiber and in testing, we have had no axle failures. Unlike other designs, the diff gear is mounted on a bearing. This coupled with our double ball bearing, large ring diff hub provides the smoothest, lightest diff in F1 racing.

Even with our optional diffuser installed, and our industry leading 3 mm pure carbon fiber chassis and bottom plate, (thicker, stronger and stiffer than the 2mm used on most cars) the WTF-1 is well under the UF1 weight minimum allowing the racer to place ballast where needed to improved handling.

We are hoping to get them out late this month... keep an eye on the teamcrc dot com site. Thanks for the patience. They will be very competitively priced.

I'm glad to hear CRC will be releasing a new car. The more factories involved with F1 the better and I have always been a big fan of CRC pan cars

Best,

Mike
