Any American engine builders

motor
I raced boats for years and K&B Manufacturing made boat motors and they are made in the USA and I think they make a .12 buggy motor. I have e-mailed them and asked them why they dont make a .21 buggy motor and have not got a answer from them. I was also told Andy Brown of MAC 21 fame was trying to do an all american buggy motor, the old one was CMB based. I would love to run a motor made in the USA.

FYI - any marine NovaRossi, Picco or CMB based engine is adapted from a car engine (note the big heavily reinforced blocks)

actually to get the made in america label it has to be I believe, 80 plus percent built here that includes parts as well. some toyota's are more made in america than a lot of so called domestic. What has the world come too?
I sure would like to see more everything made here..I would be happy to pay more for it but those days are sadly gone.

Outsourcing is the name of the game for most RC companinies. Unfortunatlely every rc motor that I'm aware of is made in Taiwan, Japan etc, and with the current economy I don't see anyone moving there manufacturing here to the good ol U.S. I don't know if anyone has noticed but on most boxes alot of companies are stating designed in the U.S.A. even though it's not produced here.
