    Motor: $50
    ESC: $70
    Radio: $20
    Batt: $25

                      Some clowns list one item at say $695, and their pal lists a few the same within a week for much less.. the cheaper ones sell.

                      I went cruising HC for cheap parts.. then tried ebay and found identical stuff at 4 times the price.. same brand and even identified as from HC !
                      go figure the stupidity of some sellers.
                      Then again, if ppl actually buy from these clowns.. fool them !

                        today 1.00AUD = 1.05USD

                        What costs you 200, costs us 190.50
                        delivery is a killer though

                        eg ose ships stuff at base rate of 17.90 to Au.
                        Means that water pickup for 2.49 + 17.90 is bloody expensive. !

                              No wonder a fellow Aussie paid for expedited shipping for some UL-1 parts I had here in the states.
