This list is a working in progress and will always be. They are not on this list simply because I have not looked into fuel manufacturers. (I always used a local brew for my fuel when I did nitro)
Thanks for the info on Byron's. I'll verify both and add them.

If your criteria for this list is based on 100% made in USA, including materials then no electronics would qualify. I used to work in consumer electronics, amps, preamps, surround processors, etc. Some of our products were made in USA but they did not qualify for a NAFTA cert. They were made here but the problem is that the components like capacitors, resistors, diodes, etc. are ALL made overseas. So while it was true that they were made in USA they were made with a high % of foreign parts. Years ago the EPA stepped in and put a stop to the manufacture of many components with heavy metals and other toxins. That's why China is the #1 source for electronic components, they don't care about air quality or what they do to the soil or water around them. There's no getting around it, any electronics manufactured here have to have a certain percentage of foreign parts.

Thanks for all of that.
But's that's not my critera.

During the COVID-19 pandemic economy and the inability of China to manufacture and ship products to the US at the capacity they once did, I think this thread deserves a bump. Support the Made in the USA companies!
