I try to buy a batch of stuff from Hobby King to minimize the shipping costs and the delivery is usually in 4-5 days from the order date.

Don't know about a US source.  Sounds like a business opportunity for someone.

Hi Jim,I plan on purchasing a boatload of Turnigy Motors,Batteries,Ect. from Hobby King in the next couple weeks for resale to the US to be shipped from the US so you can get them in a couple days via priority mail.I am a well established Ebay Top Rated Power Seller and will have these items available at a very reasonable cost.I will have them for a Buy It Now or Best Offer.STUNTHANGER MEMBERS will get these for MY COST plus a small handling fee and actual shipping.All I need is a wish list as I am still figuring what the most popular choices will be.I do not want to stock anything that we cannot use for ECL flying.The R/C boys have enough toys!!!!!!!!!!If any one has suggestions for motors,batteries,ESC's.ect PLEASE post them on stunt hanger.I should have an order placed by 6/20/10 so the sooner the better.My Ebay user name is traxgworx.Short for Traxler Guitarworx.

Jeff,

I would be interested in components for a ship like the Vector or Oriental. Looking at the "post your setup" thread, that means motors like Turnigy 38-48 900kv or Turnigy SK 35-42 1000kv. Also batteries like 4s2650 or 4s3000 I think. Not sure about ESC's from HobbyKing, seems like CC's Phoenix ESCs are the way to go. A decent charger probably is a good idea too. I've recently bought the Turnigy Accucel-6.

Jeff,

The size for my Vector 40 and one that is useful for almost any stunter in this size range (~48 oz, 450- 550 sq in) is the Turnigy SK 35-48 1100 Kv. This spins a 12-4.5 pusher at 9400 RPM and gives about 5.4 sec laps on 63-65 foot lines. The 900 Kv Turnigy of the same size wouldn't govern correctly in that RPM range -- my experience. This motor is $19 from Hobby King.

I'm using the CC ICE 50 A ESC, and Zippy 4S 2650 batteries.

I'd be up for a couple of these motors and I will soon need 4 more batteries.

Keep us posted.

We use Turnigy 35-48 900 kv and 42-50 650 kv motors and 4000 mah 5S batteries.
