Where Is Your RC Made?

[Tony Ozzy]

Except that Taiwan is not China. You sound like the Chinese government. China may think they own Taiwan but they don't. Taiwan is about as independent as they come.
On top of that, Taiwan is not a Communist dictatorship like China.
Any government willing to fight for it's own freedom from tyranny deserves our support.
So when you say China, do you mean Taiwan or China?

Great answer! TRAXXAS IS DESIGNED AND BUILT BY FREEDOM LOVING COUNTRIES.
Texas is home of Traxxas

Chassis, wheels, suspension scratch built by me from solid lumps of metal in the Uk, everything else probably from china

They are all made in the upper Eastern Hemisphere. One company, they are designed in Europe & assembled in Belgium.

My Kraton 6s was rebuilt in Australia and some of the individual parts were manufactured in Australia.

For me it doesn't go beyond designed in the USA means made elsewhere.

 

[332_RC]

Arrma headquarters are in San Antonio, designed there, made overseas.

Seen some misinformation flying around here lately. Thought I would set the record straight or at least get the correct info out there.
I was very surprised to see this because I thought all cars were manufactured in China and as it turns out not too many of the bigger RC manufactures are in China or make their cars there.
Turns out that most of the big guys are made in Taiwan.
I would also like to promote any US based and US made RC companies out there so if you know any, please post them so we can promote their businesses.
I have to confess I did not dig deeper than a few results to get this far so if anyone cares to dig deeper and correct me, please do. The idea here is to find out where each brand is based and where each brand is manufactured
Here is where I found.
Let's go over where RC cars are made. (Website: leisureguided.com)
X-Factory (Totally Advanced Racing Products) - Most Everything in the USA (Not a big company but they are making RC cars in the USA!)
Traxxas - Based in USA Made in Taiwan Assembled in USA
Arrma - Based in US Manufactured in China (According to Arrma rep).
Losi - Made in Taiwan
Tekno - Designed and Tested in USA, made in Taiwan
Team Associated - Made in Taiwan
Axial - Assembly company "Kingstar" based in Taiwan
Tamiya - Japan and made in Phillipines
Redcat - Made in China
HPI - Taiwan and China

CRC is made in Rome, New York.

The great debate!
Was it made in this not here country?
Was it made in that not here country?

If the wages and benefits weren't less than here it wouldn't be made there. That's simple economics.

Having favoritism for an exploited Taiwan worker over an exploited chinese worker seems odd. They're both exploited.

Anyone who works for less than a living wage isn't free no matter where they live.

It's never bothered me at all where anything is made. Anywhere can produce a good product or a bad ones.

The majority of Traxxas parts are designed in the USA, and made in Taiwan.

Taiwan is a sweatshop country now? I thought they were better.
