After taxes, shipping.. etc.. looks like the packs I am looking at are not all that much cheaper than what the LHS sells.

It is for a 2wd 17.5 buggy - want high voltage, 3800-4200mah shorty pack. 4mm plugs would be ideal but converting over to 5mm would not be difficult just annoying since I just converted everything over from deans to 4mm plugs.

I prefer to buy from the LHS when it is reasonable to support them so that is how I am leaning right now, but if anyone has specific recommendations I will for sure check them out.
The Turnigy nanotechs come with 4mm to 5mm adapters, no need to change everything over again.
