The only "homemade" stuff that you can found in west country now are tyre, option parts and fuel.
The reason is always the same, profit profit and profit.


There is an exception with Xray which is 100 % slovakian from design to manufacturing and the last to do so.

Odonnell made in USA can someone confirm may have to do the union thing and make that my next kit then

OD is made in asia.Go to his site & read how he sends US alum & plastic over there to have it formed.Reason is simple labor is dirt cheap there & EPA has no say in asia.Also why they had to shut the whole country down a couple month early to host the Olympics & they still had athletes that couldn't breathe & getting sick.

tc5 man

im guessing they make the alumnuim chrome parts over their, and make the plastics in the usa

tc5 man

yea and that was the sorry a$ss bs they said about the whole nitro fuel thing

XRAY comes from Slovakia...not Asia! best quality kits on the market

made in the US only means more$$$$$..Find me a US employee working for $10 a week. I would also think that Odonell parts may also be made in Asia and then the kits are put together here in the US..Not sure though, but one thing I am sure of is that our work force would add about 200% to the price of any kit out there

tc5 man

well we need more manfact jobs here and maybe if it wasnt so dam expensive here to live then 10 hour whould be good .

They melt & form the plastic pellets over there that are sent from over here.No parts for that buggy are made in USA only the base material that is sent to china & then made into parts.According to the interview Steve gave to the mags.
