I believe all the 1/8th and RTR stuff is Chinese. The XXX/XXXT may still be made and/or packaged here.

Actually Team Associated is still "made in the USA" for the most part. Only RTR's and various parts are made in china.

I thought they shifted all production to China?

I know that the Losi tires made in China are not worth a crap. (ie: 1/8 buggy pink taper pins)

They dont know how to anodize shocks too well over there for Associated either.

Eventually they will all be made over there. Get used to more part breakage, bad fitment, missing parts, low quality parts, and a wait to get replacements.

Thanks a lot, Traxxas.

All I got to say.

There's a lot more coming from Taiwan then you'd actually think... even stuff that you consider better quality. These days very little is actually made here or by the manf in question for that matter
