Default RE: Tower Engines



I pretty sure Tower Engines, GMS engines and ASP engines are made by Sanye.  Part of the problem is the Chinese government expectations and the profitability year to year in the plant.  That is they tend to dump the line if they do not make money in one year.  </p>

While the Super Tigre is made in China, it is said that the entire factory was moved from Italy to China (and could well be in the Sanye plant).  But that the Super Tiger is still made to the Italian specifications.</p>

ASP/Magnum are a separate issue.  And as long as Hobby People keep selling the Maggies, things will stay available spares wise.</p>

MECOA has captured several brand names but who knows where they are manufactured.  Could be assembled in the US but most probably somewhere in China.</p>

As long as they run pretty good, I do not care where they come from.  Beauty is in performance.  Nice to look good but they gotta run too.</p>
