Steel industry..hmm. a local mill finally went bankrupt had a few names and the old 38+ year old McCoulth steel plant is being demolished and cleaned now Nice site seen that wasted space on the waterfront to many years.

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.
