Default A little help with pricing please.... thank you!

Hey everyone! I am up here in Canada and I found an online store that has everything I want. I just want some input on whether the prices are comparable to what I should be paying. Or any suggestions of changes I should make. I know I am missing a battery, but the batterys on the site suck, so I will be bringing them up from the states separately. I will be buying the following parts.

Axial Scorpion ARTR
Novak 55T Crawler Brushed
Novak Rooster Crawler ESC
Hitec HS5645MG Servo
Spektrum DX2.0 DSM Radio

That all works out to about $589 US.

Thank you very much for any help at all!

Suggestions:
If I may make one suggestion, I would switch to a three channel radio. You'll want something later (Dig or rear stear) and you're gonna be pissed that you don't have another channel.

Opinions:
Personally I like my brushless systems better than my brushed ones, but I know its more expensive and that is a legitimate concern these days!

If you're buying the servo separate then just spend the dough on a 7955tg or JR equivalant. If it comes as a package with the radio, then upgrade later. The Spektrum radios are nice but read up on them first. I have the DX3.0 and the third channel switch is not perfect for a crawler. They make a better one but I can't remember the model number.

(Oh! and the pricing sounds about right)

I have the older style dx3 which has the 3 position 3rd channel switch, and the DX3R has the 3 position switch too

since you already have the dx3r and dx3 i dont see the need to get yourself the dx2.
