where are team associated kits made?

The B44 for example..

I have a T3 and on the box it says Costa Mesa, CA.

As for your B44, probably the same place. Your engines, motors, and electronics, maybe china?

im not sure if AE manufactures parts in the Costa Mesa facility or not. iv been there once. from what i could tell its a pretty good size building but i only saw the front part. some offices and i guess you could call it a showroom. iv herd a lot or roomers about that place. just stuff like that is has an indoor track.
i think finding where the RTR's are built might lead you to the parts manufacturing. i doubt they would make parts in once place and then ship them to where ever to have the cars/trucks assembled. just a thought

Team Assiciated was bought by Thunder Tiger a couple of years ago, parts are made in china or taiwan, dont know which one, but they're not made in the USA anymore.

In this case,I think you can trust it, it's pretty much common knowledge about Thunder Tiger buying AE & moving the manufacturing to their Taiwan plants(saves them a lot of money). But much(if not all) of the design work I think is still done in Costa Mesa, CA.....:cool:
