CrewChiefSteve Technologies is building the next generation of racing tools — starting with the ScalePad, a track-ready platform with live trackmaps and precision timing. We need shop equipment to build it. Instead of buying it all ourselves, we're inviting racing friends to own the tools and lease them to us.
After 35+ years in motorsports, Steve Kuykendall is building the tools he wished existed at the track. CCS needs shop equipment to move from prototype to production. The Pit Crew is a simple way for racing associates and friends to help — without writing a big check.
You buy it from the retailer. It ships to our shop. Your name is on it. You retain full ownership for the entire lease and after.
We pay you $30 every month for 12 months ($360/year). Paid first business day of each month. Written into the signed agreement.
Equipment leased to a business may qualify for Section 179 — potentially deducting the full purchase price in year one. Consult your tax advisor.
Your tool helps build racing technology. Visit the shop anytime. See your equipment at work. You're not just investing — you're on the crew.
Each piece of equipment below is critical to building CCS products. Pick one, buy it, lease it to us.
Four steps. No phone call. A few clicks and you're on the crew.
Example based on a $2,399 Bambu Lab H2C. Your tax situation may vary — consult a tax professional.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Equipment Purchase | -$2,399.00 |
| Section 179 Deduction (est. 24% bracket) | +$575.76 |
| 12-Month Lease Income | +$360.00 |
| Estimated Year 1 Net Cost | -$1,463.24 |
After 12 months your net cost is roughly $1,463 — and you still own a $2,399 printer. You can sell it, renew the lease, or we buy it from you at fair market value.
The tax deduction and lease income could offset 39% of the purchase price in year one alone.
Tax estimates assume 24% marginal rate. Actual results depend on your filing status and eligibility. This is not tax advice.
Your equipment. Your choice. No surprises.
Four steps. No phone call. A few clicks and you're in.
