It doesn't matter but it can't be just about the money.Seems people on here buy motors that the price isn't that big of deal
which aren't yet all made in asia.

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

J/KTo me it does matter where things are made.This country was allowed to become a country that spends and not make.How long can that sustain
But i don't want to ruin this great hobby with politics and economics.Just wish there where more options
