I'm not sure, but I was hanging out with a prop guy a couple weeks ago and he mentioned a new band of builders in china, I want to say it's called extreme composites or something like that. Anyway, I believe this is the same place where the BVM Superbandit ARF is being made. I'm just interested to know if anyone else knows of this or anything more? Not that it matters, just more gossip I guess.
Extreme Composites is the OTHER Thai factory, started by an ex-Composite ARF employee.
As I heard it, the guy set himself up in business and BV started sending HIM the work instead of C-arf, and Andreas got upset, hence the argument over the molds. That's as much as I know.
I have heard people talking about how the Superbandit was made in America, but I heard from somebody else it's this same factory. I do not know for a fact. But this factory is where the new tooling is being done for at least the Kingcat and such, the Ex-CARF ones, by an Ex-CARF employee. Let me add a proviso that all my info is second-hand, and not to be treated as anything but gossip and rumor, I have not talked to any of the three parties involved, nor would I expect a straight answer from any of the three parties involved! It's business, that's all.
