Re: Where should I buy pwm wire/connectors?

I've found long lengths of cable at Servocity, but their pwm housings/pins are overpriced.

The general gist of the situation is that the big sellers rip you off, and I dont know of the quality/shipping times of the more obscure sites (plus no single site seems to have all the supplies I need).

Where do you guys buy your pwm wire/connectors from?
I get all mine from Amazon sources. They're called Futaba Servo extension cables. Here is 10 pieces for under $3:

I usually get some longer ones:
