cap you are so right..if you find the product you need in your local hardware store its cheap but the second its labelled for rc the price goes balistic.over the years I have found many alternatives for quote rc only items.my latest was rigging cable for tailbracing and pull-pull cables..I went to gander mountain and found braided stainless steel cable by the roll.a 1000 feet for 10 bucks and change. as for servo connectors I have been using shrink tubing as you can go to harbor freight and buy it by the roll dirst cheap.although I occasionally use dental floss as well.I also find stuff at my wifes favorite quilt store as well.
