Where are different cars made?

Actually Novak still is and I believe Tekin is as well; however, the products will say something like "Assembled in the USA from globally sourced parts." This is due to California regulations. It has to be 100% American or they will sue you. So if a brushless motor is made all in the US except for a German bearing or Chinese sensor wire connector, you can't call it "Made in the USA".

Actually, what's up with all these anti-China movement? Anyone of you have ever been to China and see how they work and life? Definitely not slave condition if you ask me...
We can actually trace the rise of China back to greedy Americans...
So, for those anti-China Americans, they only have themselves to blame...

Unfortunately you are in the minority. Most people are more than happy to pay much less for a Chinese clone of a more expensive product. Just check out the Go and Alpha engine threads.

Have you ever been to China to see it for yourself? Ignorance is bliss...

Look at it this way, the hobby is way more affordable with all these "clones", without them I doubt many of us can afford this hobby to start with.
As more and more people get into the hobby via affordable "clones", the market gets bigger and inevitably some will upgrade to more expensive brands like RB and Nova, the spin off is huge if people can take it with a positive frame of mind...
