Thanks again for the help guys!

the reason you're not going to find all that at one place is just simple logistics. Horizon doesn't do Futaba... so they're out, Tower doesn't do Xray, so that's out. Keep going and it gets worse, depending on who is out of what, at that INSTANT.

I don't know who SMT is. Neither do Horizon or Tower.

the same search term that found "r minus" connectors at Tower and Stormer, did not at Horizon (but I know they do carry them).

There are 7 items don't have part numbers, so you're at the mercy of everbodys search engines, and not everything is listed the same.

Also, you have 16 items and perhaps a dozen solid vendors to choose from to look for stuff. Even if you are smooth and know every shops search engines and can knock out 2 solid searches a minute, you're gonna spend about 96 minutes of just searching. AND, any shop with LIVE inventory like Stormer could show it one minute, sold out the next. now you have to start over.

It's not that nobody was willing to respond, it's just that you started what is potentially a 2 hour long scavenger hunt with only one pre-determined winner

Here's how far I got on the list before I realized the length of potential work involved. ...lol... I made it 2 numbers for 3 vendors when I broke out the calculator.

And just because it doesn't come up in your first attempt at searching it, doesn't mean it's not there. What's a ball cup for some is a rod end for others, etc.

CRC13451, Tower doesn't list it, Horizon is out, Stormer doesn't list it.
CRC4088, Stormer has it, Horizon has it, Tower doesn't list it.
