About Us
|
|
TOC-Xtreme is a premium hobby dealer
specializing in giant scale products. We have a close
working relationship with SD Models, the parent company of TOC1
and Aviation Models which formerly distributed their
products. They are currently attempting to set up a direct
sales organization in the USA. Because TOC1 and Aviation
Models have both gone out of business, I have formed TOC-Xtreme
and joined forces with Troy Built Models to continue to offer the same
quality planes and to continue to develop new products. I am
the sole owner of TOC-Xtreme and have no partners. I
served as the Director of US operations for Aviation Models from
January 2006 to August 2006. I left and went on my own
because I couldn't get behind the vision that the owner had for US
distribution. It was a friendly parting, and I am an a
Certified Dealer for SD Models. Our factory is located in Zhuhai,
China. While we employ the latest equipment and technology
in the manufacture of our products, we are most proud of our very
skilled employees. While young in appearance, all are over
18. Some have been with our company in various capacities
over 20 years.

In order to insure the best quality balsa, we buy it in bulk quantities and cut and process it ourselves. These scraps will be re-processed for other products. |
Many different tools are used |

Laser cutters produce perfect parts every time. Also, every replacement part we sell, fits just like the original. If you own 2 or more kits of the same size and design, parts are interchangeable. |
Whether parts are balsa, plywood, or foam, the laser cuts them perfect every time. |
|
|
|
|
The laser cutters even cut intricate UltraCote Trim patterns. |
Parts are assemble using three types of glue: CA where penetration is needed, epoxy where hardness is needed, and high quality aliphatic glue where strength and flexibility is needed. No hot glue is ever used in our ARFs. |

|
Many types of jigs are used. They are attached to large flat tables to insure that all wings, fuses, and stabs are straight as an arrow. |
I really like to visit the covering room. We have some very talented workers there. |

Planes are covered on a padded table overlaid with white linen. |
No cheap "China-cote". Even trim is 100% UltraCote (Oracover) |

|
All fiberglass parts are created in molds - the old-fashioned way |
We have made a huge investment in molds for our many models. |

Wheel Pants anyone? |
Ever wonder how we get our parts so smooth - wet sanding! |
