While I agree that a US based company is better to deal with when things go wrong, the US companies can't compete with the selection or price of the Chinese ones. Also, I get really pissed when my $300 motor/ESC combo go bad, even though I get to deal with a US based company. When my Chinese $150 motor/ESC combo goes bad, I half as pissed.
