Default Engine Suppliers

Guys:
I have been doing a ton of web researchand have some questions for those in the know. I am in the market for either the Zenoah G26ei, DLE30cc or the RCGF 26cc with a side mounted carb. Here are my questions.

1. Zenoah- Is Horizon the only U.S. supplier? I have looked on ALIBABA.com and have been quoted a price that is well below the 300+ dollars anyone is asking. Is there a supplier that I can buy this engine for less than 300+ dollars? If anyone is interested you can e-mail me for the prices I was quoted.

2. I have the same questions for the DLE and the RCGF engines.

It seems that lately when you go online to price shop most of the hobby stores have the same website and the prices are real close.

What I am looking for is a DEAL. I am on a budget and I know you can get these engines cheaper than they are being posted for.

If anyone has any info that you can send my way I would appreciate it.

If needed feel free to e-mail me

If you want service and a guarantee, you had best deal with the well known suppliers that all sell at the same price

A "DEAL" comes at a high risk. You buy it and it's yours good or bad

W8ye:
You miss understand what I am trying to accomplish here. I am not trying to step on anyones toes, however my take on this is simply this. I am looking for a god quality engine (see my previous post). For a price that is better than retail. I personally am not asking for service or guarantee. I am an engine man and although I dont know all the in's and outs of each engine I have listed, I can tune em. Anyway I hope some of you can provide me with some either new/used sources to get one of these engines. I am not opposed to used I just want one that is better priced than what is currently showing on the majority of the hobby shop websites.

I guess I am an American doing what Americans do, and that islooking for a deal, we can just call it capitilism at it's finest.

Go to some swap meets & see if you can find a good price on a Zenoah 26cc engine. Make sure its is in good condition. They will out last most any other engine & has good power. Capt,n

You can always save money by buying these engines here at the RCU classifieds and watch 3bay where they sometimes go cheap. R/C swapmeets are a great place to pick up engines because you can look them over before you buy.
