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".

You need to re-study your American history especially on Black slavery...

The Chinese might be working in a sweatshop but they are no slave...

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.

So, why aren't American manufacturers staying in America and creating more jobs? It all boils down to dollars and cents...

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

Sean,

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...

If by china you mean china and taiwan, then I dont think you can race 1:8th scale :-) Unless you buy an Xray.

Please take a trip to China and see how they practice Communism there, it will be an eye opener for you...
