For nearly 40 years, passion has been our driving force.
Italtrading Srl is a historical point of reference for RC modeling in Italy and around the world.
Founded in 1987 by Francesco and Cinzia Ristori, our company turned a passion into a solid and lasting entrepreneurial project. In almost 40 years of activity, we have built relationships with the best brands in the industry, distributed exclusive products, and supported generations of modelers – from beginners to professional racers – with professionalism and expertise.
But we didn’t stop at distribution: over the years, we have also created original and innovative brands, developed through our direct experience and in collaboration with RC driver, engineers, and professionals. This is how projects like The Rally Legends and EZpower came to life – and others – which now represent a vibrant part of the international market.
Today, we continue to grow, with the energy of a young team and a vision always focused on the future.
With us, modeling is much more than a hobby. It’s culture, technique, community. It’s life.
Behind Italtrading lies a clear project:
To offer a complete and positive modeling experience, with tested products, continuous technical support, and genuine passion.
Our Story
Born in the heart of Tuscany, Italtrading has deep roots in the RC field. Since the early 1980s, we’ve combined the distribution of international brands with the creation of proprietary ones, developed through our expertise and passion.
Over the years, the company has welcomed the second generation. Under the leadership of Lorenzo Ristori, alongside his brother Guido and a motivated team of collaborators, we have faced market challenges with an innovative spirit and global vision. Today, our team combines technical skills, true RC passion, and a continuous drive for improvement.
"Our strength has always been believing in the projects we truly identify with. Sharing genuine passion with those who choose us every day."
— Lorenzo Ristori
