Yes, the original manufacturer will always make their cut and most are good with that. But when you can choose who makes that second cut - whether it's Reedy, Promatch, or SMC, many choose the US owned company. That's what they mean.
look at this way ...

American middle man that just puts a sticker on...

Or

A manufactor from China with mass resources to bring the best possible product for the lowest price.

I have used all four of the above plus smc. I would pick all four of them over the smc. They come with better cases and did not have swell issues.

lol, I have some proteks that are 9 months pregnant after a few runs in 17.5 lol. Orions seem to hold up well. almost every revtech I see is puffed. anyway, I like the IP lipos from Promatch. The most powerful packs I have run in 17.5. And they have the best numbers on a cycle with my icharger 4010

Wildcat, I raced down at W3 about a month ago with my RM and since than I purchased a MM. I'm loving the MM and so much I bought the conversion kit. Do you know what (MM/RM) most are running in 17.5? With the coming of the indoor SRS and W3, I think I'll never need RM. I'm from UT and both tracks are considered high to med high traction.

If you are having that many issues with batteries it is likely a user issue not a battery issue. All of the batteries I listed I have used with no issue, not stuff I "see".

Thank you for the clarification.
