North Carolina Engineers and Buyers Plan Amcon Attendance November 18-19
The benefits of attending a regional AmCon show are significant. The AmCon North Carolina Contract Manufacturing Expo will be held in Greensboro, North Carolina on November 18-19, 2008 at the Greensboro Coliseum. Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point, make up North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad. That area of North Carolina is home to a diverse group of manufacturers, including industrial machinery and equipment, automotive, aerospace, medical, and electronics. According to Kati Olson, President, “AmCon is the only show in the Piedmont Triad where job shops and contract manufacturers can meet face-to-face with serious OEM buyers of custom manufacturing services from the region.”
Major manufacturers in the region include RFMD, Hayward Pool Products, Freightliner, Gilbarco Veeder-Root, Siemens Power Generation, Penn Engineering, BE Aerospace, Wilson-Cook Medical, Eveready Battery, Arrow International, Technimark, Cooper Tire & Rubber, Honda Aircraft, Engineered Controls, Mickey Truck Bodies, Deere-Hitachi, Johnson Controls Battery, Duracell, Diebold, Proctor & Gamble, General Dynamics Adv.

Engineers and buyers attending an AmCon Contract Manufacturing Expo can find one or multiple sources to take a project from concept or prototype to finished product quickly and at competitive prices. OEMs can find sources for engineering, design, prototypes, forming, fabricating, machining, finishing, assembly and electronic manufacturing services all under one roof. Whether looking for one part or production runs, attendees find multiple sources from which to choose. AmCon offers attendees a unique opportunity to investigate a variety of manufacturing options, both new and traditional, and find the best processes and materials for specific applications. Attendees view actual samples of products that have been produced for other OEMs in their industry and can get quotes on current projects and compare quality, pricing, and lead times from multiple vendors all in a few hours. Only AmCon shows provide a “hands on” one-on-one education. Since the exhibits are staffed with top management and technical personnel, attendees have an in-depth discussion regarding project design, materials and production issues. AmCon shows are free, including seminars on a variety of manufacturing processes and quality issues. To register for the North Carolina event go to: www.AmConshows.com.

Alright... I have a question on RC cars?
OK, so I have a birthday present to purchase (a few of us are pitching in some cash... the amount depends on what er decide to buy)
He decided he wants one of the track-quality RC cars (I.E. Traxxas)
unfortunately, none of us have ever owned... or used anything but the Tyco ones, you can buy at Wal-Mart & such.
Now, I'm not asking which car is the best... because I know everyone has their favorites (same as in airsoft, which i've been a big part of, for ~5 years)
I'm simply asking for the more reputable brands...
He wants an electric car, & a few good sites to browse through would help too 
I've been to my local hobby shop, & checked a few out... but I'm looking for a few more opinion's.
Thanks in advance!

Check out team-losi they have some pretty awsome cars. And it all depends on size. If you want a really serious large car then you should go to traxxas. I own a traxxas revo 3.3 and a team losi mini-lst. I wouldnt trust traxxas making mini cars and i dont trust losi's large cars but their mini lst is a beast and the revo 3.3 outruns everything else by far. The revo and the savage are controversial among people though cause the revo is more for racing and the savage is for bashing. But since your looking into electric i would go with a small team losi car like the mini lst2 or the traxxas slash which is cool cause its completely waterproof.
