Well, if you're gonna post, post something correct:
a) It's called Above All, not Active Components.
b) per se
AboveAll has mostly computer parts, not RC parts.
As for rechargeable batteries, Supremetronic on Queen is one source for them
in bulk. Chris' favourite wholesale places on Queensway in Etobicoke also
have cheap high cap NiMH AA's as well.
If you're looking for RC parts, Advance Hobbies is probably one of the best
places in Toronto:

Remember everyone to buy them from Chris.
