This CRC series is created to offer new comers in VRC and in real r/c racing, an entry-level r/c racing experience with an easy to handle car with the focus on just driving instead of set-up and racing skills. There are hardly any set-up options to work with, and with the restricted horsepower and rev limiter the cars will all have exactly the same top speed of around 90 km/h.

A new addition to the Welkom Arena collection: Welkom Arena 7. This 276m long indoor asphalt track is suitable for 1:10 nitro and electric and even for 1:8 nitro on-road! As the Welkom Arena is an indoor facility, traction will be high, no rain to wash off the grip! The South African city of Welkom is located at an altitude of 1340m so keep in mind that this means less aero drag but also less downforce. Engine power will be less of course due to the lower atmospheric pressure.
