YEUP!

They might carry crawler parts,and thats good. Allot of the vendors we have don't just carry crawler parts,they spend countless hours designing the new stuff the "other guys" just hang on the wall. I'd GLADLY spend more money with any vendor on RCC over any mom and pop place on the net. There's a handful of the vendors we have now that have been in it since day one,Mr. Holmes being one of them. IMHO,they are the ones that helped allot in getting us where we are today. I'd gladly pay a little more for their efforts.

Do what you want to do! I'll continue to support the vendors that support us! And Holmes is #1 when it comes to electronics in my opinion!!
Well if that's true than you're more..."dedicated" than I am. I wouldn't pay substantially more for a car just because that brand or dealership was a sponsor.

I agree. I think it's a good idea to pay a couple more bucks from a company that is innovative and supportive of the industry they sell to. This is especially true if you have good experiences with a company. I'd rather pay a few more dollars and get something from Tower instead of gambling on eBay because the item is a little cheaper. But at a certain point I think it's fine to stray from your preferred vendor if you find better deals at another reputable company.

But this is all off-topic and I didn't mean to open a can of worms.

I bought a Elite 5i BC from cheapbatterypacks it does not discharge. I don't need to discharge anything myself. It charges ever thing and anything including you car battery. You will however need a power source or a battery. I have a nice power source at home and at comps I use the truck battery. He had a discount for RCC people it was a supper great deal and works awesome and is super easy to use. Check it out.
