There is a difference in "made in China" and "made in China"

The one is indeed designed and made in china and the other is develloped in theUS/Europe and made in China and controled by western standards.

might want to find a new hobby or sport then but most likely the equipment for them will also be made there, maybe focus on the steel industry since there is already factories in existence that can be started up again

I think Muchmore is designed in Japan and made there or in taiwan. But you'd have to check the actual packaging to be sure. The Orion ESC's are made in germany.

Most of the stuff in the hobby is made in china, its just how it works with how cheap it is. Some stuff like tires and small custom parts are made here in the USA. I try to not buy china products but if you really tried you wouldn't be able to buy very many things at all.

You want a brushless motor made in the USA? Good luck! Holmes Hobbies builds some of his here from components from all over the world.

Castle motors are manufactured in China. Their ESCs are built in-house from global materials. Their motors are not.

I don't know of any USA manufacturer that doesn't use any "foreign components".

^My bad fellas, I confused Castle with the Neu motors they once offered. Neu motors are made in USA.(ish)

Parts like caps, resistors, sensors etc, are almost certainly made in China as that is just about the only place you can get electronic components. Same goes for Neodymium magnets, most of the production/mining for neodymium is in China.

You can maybe get caps, etc from Japan, but quite difficult.

I wonder why the topicstarter is looking for a non China brushless motor. If he burns them up then most of the time it is not the quality of the motor.....

Probably jumping on the anti-China bandwagon that's been going around since COVID-19.

That is just a matter of contacting local shops, asking what they have on stock.
