Good point, amps are a bit harder to get by than motors, but then again, there are plenty of them on offer. I only paid full price once for a set of servo amps and that was because I wanted to have a particular type for a very special set of motors (pancake servos).

How do you deal with the proprietary connectors on the motors? Replace them or only go for motors that come with stub cables? Proper replacement plugs probably cost about as much as a used motor... and most seem to be sold without cables/plugs. (Unfortunately it is hard to search for this stuff, because everything is "polluted" with model making servos)
