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.

Send me a resume!

We do own the company in China -- it's owned by a Kansas LLC ("Castle Holdings LLC") as a WOFE (wholly owned foreign enterprise) in China. And no, we don't have anyone under 18 working there. Nor is there anyone under 18 working in Juarez either.... (in fact, I think they are all over 40 in Juarez...)

You can buy a USA made version (as was pointed out above) by buying a Neu motor. And since we are Neu's US distributor, we encourage you to buy Neu!

Thanx for all the kind words...
