DMM sells a complete kit of 3 400w/Dyn2 for about $1450, which is a lot more than $285 per axis.

I agree about the chinese pricing though. The shipping brings them right up to DMM's pricing. What the DMM's have going for them, is that they are about $150-$250 cheaper than anything else not made in China.
Thanks for the info! Yes, you are correct, multiply the price by 1.33 (Aud to USD currently) then add more for shipping for DMM (for us Aussies). So prices are less for Chinese.

The Chinese servos come with cables too which to me is an advantage. Do they also require a power supply or not? I am yet to investigate the wiring setup required. I think I could work out setting them up with help from electronic engineer friends and some (lots) of reading.
