Posted January 31, 2009 Pour ceux qui veulent en savoir plus sur X Factory, voici un résumé par Paul Sinclair: X Factory is a very small but growing company. We have a total of 1 1/2 employees, myself (1) and Paul (1/2 while he is still earning his master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.) Losi & AE, both at least 50 times larger, are in turn owned by still larger companies. Almost all their parts are made in China by the lowest bidder. All our plastic & CF parts are proudly made in the U.S.A. from the highest quality materials using the best process. That is expensive compared to others. Further, as a very small company, our sales volume right now is low compared to others, so our order quantities are much lower = more expense per part. As we grow, as The Family gets larger, our costs will begin to go down. Why should you buy X Factory if we are so expensive? Engineering and quality. Simple as that. X Factory cars are better and faster. Period. We can't afford to hire an entire team of world champion drivers -- trust me, those guys are expensive, and the cost of the race team is passed through to the customers. X Factory cannot afford that kind of a team. And we can't even think about their advertising budget. Fortunately for you, and us, none of that makes you go faster. Instead, we have worked hard to bring a few of the very best drivers to the X Team, where engineering expertise and a history of innovation are more important to us than winning races. We make race cars for hard-core racers. We don't make cheap RTRs in China, then maintain an expensive race team to promote sales by running cars much unlike what we sell. Here is where X Factory's small size is so important to our Family: Innovations created and proven at the track by the X-Team go immediately into production. Our small order size means we frequently update parts. Small changes, proven by the Team, go into prodiction right away. No fanfare, no big advertising budget -- you don't pay foir any of that. But as fast as the Team comes up with something new, we bring it to you. We don't really care if WE win, so long as YOU win and have a blast doing it. So, if you want to race cheap, please go someplace else. If you want the very best engineering and quality, a car different from all the rest and thererfore faster, a car made from the very finest molds and materials, a company where the owner and the Team are immediately accessible, Welcome to The Family!
