Since last year I cannot find a source for the three color control wires that come with the kit of parts. I've tried hobby stores online that sell RC airplanes and such but can't find them. Innovation first used to sell them but no longer seems to. Any help out there?

IFI still sells PWM cables. http://www.vexrobotics.com/276-1976.html
At your local hobby store, try asking for servo wire or servo extensions.
If you don't mind ordering from hong kong and removing the covers on the maie side, these are very cheap. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11985

As it turns out, they are called "servo extension wires" and I was able to get them locally at a hobby shop that sells model planes. I could no longer get them from IFI but ANDY MArk told me that they would probably start carrying them next season.

We have used the cables from dealextreme.com. They are cheap and have been reliable.
We also bought the servo connector kit from http://www.hansenhobbies.com/. This allows the kids to build custom length cables to make the wiring very neat.
The site also has a good tutorial on crimping the connectors.
