I agree, I overgeneralized things. However I was not aware that some $$$ motors are made in China.
I am not surprised with regards to "Made In China" / "Made In CountryX" at all. Once upon a time, I was working in a factory where we were making "Proudly Made In US of A" paper towel holders by peeling off "Made In China" stickers and placing whole assembly in the cardboard box.

That place went out of business a while after.
Quicksilver - where are you getting the ESC & Motor? offshoreelectrics?
Its doesn't matter where it is made. Sure there in china but what isn't
There is a Honda plat down the road from me who makes cars to ship to china and USA.
Sure they are driven in China and the Honda is Chinese ( or Jap?) but still
Regardless if the manufacturing location they are all made differently.
The are Not made in the same factory. Or with the same time and quality.
Hacker are a Way better version of a feigao. Most of you people Don't race and Opt for the feigao cuz there Cheap. Me being a racer i have some hackers and some feigaos for my sport boats.
There is a huge difference in performance. So what does that tell you. I have ran the same 10XL one feigao and one Hacker and got way huge results.!
So regardless if you say Oh its made in china doesn't mean any thing.
Chinese work ethics are way better for the working stand point. But when it comes to ideas they lack a bit because of copying al ot of products that were American or German made. Or buying a boat and copying it and calling it there own
Same with the cars They are making a full line or Merc and BMW cars that aren't really merc and BMW. they are the exact body parts just with a crappy motor and poor quality and sold for 50% less then real.
BTW good choice for the motor 12 L sounds cool
