And this is our new Universal Instruments AdvantisX AC-30S chipshooter.

We are also receiving a DEK Horizon 03X printer and Heller 1809MK-18 oven.

This will be Castle's second SMT production line, complementing our current super fast production line.

This second production line will be slower than our current production line, but will have quicker turnover for high-mix products. High volume production will continue on our main production line, with lower qty products moving to the new production line.

Thought you guys might like to see Castle's new toys!

Machine porn! I love it. Congrats on the purchase!

Nice seeing an American company grow in a slow economy. Good stuff Patrick.

What is your biggest seller btw, if you don't mind me asking?

Very cool Patrick. It's good to see an American business that is succeeding in the global economy.

Congrats Patrick. And I concur with what Romano said.

often wondered that as well. If I had to guess it would be the MMM esc...but that's just a guess.


Nice looking toys for sure Patrick

If you add up all the flavors of the MMM that we build, then yes, it's the largest seller. :)

So how about volumne stats between car, boat, air and special project esc's... Just curious...

Oh, probably 50% car, 2% boat, 40% air, 5% special, 3% military or so...

That's just a guess off the top of my head...

Awesome machines dude! I will agree with the others in saying kudos to the expansion in the crappy American economy. Keep doin business the way you do and I would think the expansion would continue. Especially with the killitary involved. MMM100xl to run your tank anyone? Ha ha ha. Would guess it's more for the drones and stuff but who really knows. Anywho go castle!

That is interesting. The FE boat community must be pretty small. Not alot available for a good boat setup, figured you had the market cornered.

Looking forward to getting my 32" mono going with a hydra 180hv and a 1521 2y...

Definitely! :yes:

Castle Creations is the best!

If Traxxas pulls their heads out of their rear ends and ever releases their new boat it may expand the FE boat market. Traxxas is great for getting people into the hobby but then they start looking around at what they can upgrade to and I have to guess that a Castle is the first name that comes up when trying to upgrade and electric RC. If Castle was to put together a combo that would drop into the new Traxxas boat I'm sure they could sell them
