We need more space.

Also a mugshot of yours truly...

Now you can build that indoor track you've always wanted!

That part about the motors costing $100 more to build in the USA was interesting, since I've always thought a BL ESC would be more complicated to assemble.

congrats! points to the obvious though, great products! i see to it that all that ask at the track know the truth. not to mention the on track performance!

Irritates the crap out of me - I'll pay you more for a "Made in USA" motor. I know its the reality we are in, but it still sucks the big one. That being said, just make sure we dont see a report about your company running one of those 12 year old sweat shops over there.

Hopefully you actually own the company over there, and aren't just subbing out the work. I know we have had a hard time getting our subs over there to improve thier processes, or even buy drill motors that work properly. But our problem is that we can only inspect the quality of the product since we dont own the company. As we have been implementing lean manufacturing, and increasing the delivery rates, they have had a hard time keeping up.

You need to hire me to come in and lean out your manufacturing process.

we’d end up having almost $100 in labor per motor, and the motors only sell for about $130.”

You must sell a lot more of your smaller motors than you do the 1/8th scale.

Yes, Patrick... don't make a mistake!!!! You should be in DesMoines. Forbes just said it's the best city in the US for a business. You can crash at Brian's house when you come up tomorrow to look for new digs to lease

Make sure you get enough land to have an onsite flying field and race tracks.

thats bad ass!....i could see it now...you can have HUGE 1/8th scale MX style track....a smaller 1/10th scale short course track....a drag strip....a hanger to test the heli/planes....and a small pond ot test the boats...65,000 square ft is a TON of space!!!

When will Castle become a publicly traded company? I want to invest!

[sikeston34m]

Ummm, You need to move your facility to Sikeston, Missouri!

Congratulations on the move Patrick! I'm sure the extra space will bring some relief to your efforts.

Who knew such fun filled ideas were in the mind of this man?

[George16]

Congrats Patrick. I didn't know until I read the news that you were in the Air Force.

[nitrostarter]

Congrats Patrick!!

Good stuff Patrick, hope the new digs work out well for ya. So are we all invited to the grand opening party?
