Support local I agree but when you can get servo's and lead s and prop's for less than half price it makes the hobby affordable. I have purchased many $$$$$$ from HC and love there gear!!!!!!!!!! I live in Aussie land can order Sunday night have by Wed morning note only if in stock and chose the dearer freight. Read the reveiws before you buy and if not sure try one of there products before ording multiple. Don't know about their batt have not used them. You can have them alert you by email when stocks arrive, just make sure you do not place a order with a out of stock item because I have had them the hold the order waiting for the back ordered item. .....................cheers
