I find these posts really interesting. One thing however that caught my attention was the mention of Jeti. They are known to have been reverse engineered by a chinese company but the real Jeti escs are not made in China. In fact Jeti receives support from the European Regional Development Fund for investments in the Czech Republic. They sure wouldn´t want to be caught getting financial support and putting "Made in Czech Republic" on each product they make and still have them made in China. Another company that are known to have been copied are Yge who themselves make all their ESCs in Germany. There was even a thread where the Yge founder explained it all.

Also remember that when it comes to ESCs, the software is where the really big difference is. Even two identical looking products can be totaly different when it comes to functionality.

But still, a very interesting thread! Though the vast amounts of products made in China makes it hard to decipher who makes what.
