I buy my lipos and the majority of my R/C stuff from my local shop/track. It's always good to support the place you visit, especially if you want to keep visiting :)
The best places I have found online for FMA/Kokam are Tower Hobbies and Horizon Hobby. Before I buy I normally check both websites for pricing and availability. For the higher-ticket items you can usually find an ad number for Tower to get approx 10% off at any given time. You usually have to spend between $50 and $200 to be able to use an ad number with them. Horizon doesn't often put items on sale, but when they do they will beat Tower's price regularly. I bought my Kokam 3200 20C packs through my local shop (through Horizon) because they were almost $10 cheaper than Tower at the time, but I bought my Duratrax ICE charger directly from Tower because my local shop wasn't ordering from Great Planes at that time.

I find that the more I spend, the more I shop around to get the best price. That's one reason I keep coming back to RC-Monster.com.

:)

P.S.-> The FMA BalancePro packs are no longer on pre-order at Horizon. My order should be at my local shop today and I'll be picking them up tomorrow. Chances are the Scorpion packs are ready to ship, too.
