Chris Cristo
Millbury, MA
Chris is a 34 year old R/C nut that loves anything related to R/C. When he’s not working, as an
IC mask designer at Cavium Networks or hanging out with his family,
he’s online reading R/C related forums and news sites.
His love of racing began at age 11 with the purchase of his first R/C vehicle, a Marui Big Bear. At 12,
he entered his first race and placed 6th. Striving for better finishes, he began modifying his cars
And hasn’t stopped tinkering since.
In 1993, Chris placed 3rd in the NORRCA nationals with a Traxxas Eagle that had a
direct drive transmission that he made himself.
After high school, Chris took a short break from R/C racing and started again in 2004
when his wife gave him a Traxxas Emaxx as a gift. Chris now races weekly at R/C Excitement in
Fitchburg, MA and runs electric 1/10th scale as well as 1/8th scale nitro buggy. He enjoys traveling
to other tracks for racing and has visited tracks in Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Ohio and Florida.
