The Battle Axe is the result of continuous refinement and product development at Calandra Racing Concepts.

Move over T-Bar cars, the Battle Axe is coming through.

CRC Pro-Strut Front End
The front end on the Battle Axe is very adjustable and easy to build. The metal parts are pre-polished for super smooth movement. The camber and caster are both very easily adjusted. The Pro-Strut front end is the only front end that uses pivot-ball technology. The Pro-Strut also features a wide range of ride-height adjustment. From bare rims to big tires, it is easy to reach legal ride height settings.
Adjustable Width and wheel Base
	The front end on the Battle Axe is track and base adjustable. Also visible in this pic is the flush mount personal transponder mounting hole. The low profile mount insures low weight in the car and great counting with the transponder being mere millimeters from the loop.
A closer look at the CRC Pro-Strut Front End
	CRC’s Pro-Strut front end features a lower arm with adjustable pivot ball tension. Just pop the ball in and tighten the clamp screw to get the perfect fit. As the pivot ball wears, you can further adjust the tension. The Pro-Strut has a dual aluminum axle and 1/8th scale style pivot ball camber adjustments. The pre-polished pivot upper ball is inserted through the steering block and the play is adjusted with the slotted plastic insert. The polished ball combined with user-adjustable play makes for a super smooth, slop-free upper suspension point.
The Pro-Strut front end’s “dual-axle” allows the user to flip between inline and trailing axle suspension formats. This is perfect for both oval and road racers. As always, only the finest materials are used in the making of all CRC racing products. 100% carbon fiber, with no fillers, aerospace aluminum, and modern plastic composites.
	The CRC Pro-Strut front suspension on the Battle Axe uses a removable upper cap to facilitate easy caster adjustments. Just remove the screws, slide the shims where you want them and re-install the 2-56 button head screws. The upper cap “clamps” the hinge pin to keep it from moving. No more fishing the hinge pin through the block and the shim washers only to lose a bunch of shim washers during the process. The Pro-Strut front end uses an adjustable thread-in king pin, virtually eliminating the need to shim the front springs. To adjust the pre-load, simply loosen the locking 4-40 set screw and adjust the king pin to the desired pre-load. The adjustable king pin allows the use of different length springs. Simple and effective.

CRC X-Pod
The X-pod is strong, rigid, straight and flex free. With plenty of room for brushless motors and the extra wires they need, the new X-pod is the answer. The X-Pod also allows the motor to be mounted as low as possible, which helps make for the lowest CG possible of any rear pod design.
