ebaay...maybe HK are pretty cheap and hard to beat
+1 on eBay but really, if you find a fairly reliable resource any cheaper than HobbyKing you better let US know.
There are some reasonable alternatives for good motors.

You won't EVER beat hobbyking! If you find something that's cheaper than HobbyKing, then you send them the link, and they'll lower the price to make it cheaper!

Not necessarily true - HobbyKing isn't that cheap when you keep in mind the shipping/handling price. Not to mention customs on higher-value orders... Still the best choice of products with good quality-to-price ratio.
I can find products that ARE cheaper if you keep in mind how much it costs to ship them but of course "shelf" price will be higher.
I'll still choose HK not because of the price, but because many product's can't be found anywhere else or quality of service can't be compared.

Meh, forgot about that.
I like the Hobbypartz motors.
I'm running a couple of their 3010 Rocket Series motors.
They appear rock solid.
Got a 1700kv in my combat plane and a1400kv in the Supercub.
It was an oversight to leave HobbyPartz off of my list above- I fixed it

If you are in the US they are great- I don't know what their international shipping policies are...
Are you talking about the mg90s?
I use those as well. They are the exact same servos that Hobbyking sells.
I use them in my combat planes. They hold up well. I have bought them from HobbyPartz and HobbyKing.
Watch HobbyPartz, every once in while they go on sale for six bucks a piece.
Only difference is HobbyPartz gets them to me in 3 days

Yep. The mg90s. I have them on the swash of my blade 400 right now and they seem to be working fine. They're on sale for 6 bucks right now. Here's a link for everyone else.

You're right they are waaay faster. I usually buy from hobbyking when I'm planning a build down the road but if I need to do repairs, they just aren't fast enough.

Yes- I have programmed both the Dynham and the Proton series ESC with the Turnigy card.

We've got the MG90S for $5.99 when you buy them in a five pack. We have very nicely priced motors as well.

I checked out your store, looks like I'll be doing some more domestic shopping. Always happy to shop local when I can.
