I know how you feel there. The only way to get cheap parts here in the states is from hobbyking, and that shipping sucks. But, I guess if we want it bad enough, we can always just order Align from ReadyHeli and get it in like two days lol.
Oh, and if/when you get a HK450GT or another 450 clone, you will be amazed at how much more you will like it. I think they are 10x more stable than the belt. Well, from what I have read, and the comments on them anyway.
