Lo-Boy asked:

I live in Chicago,IL and have a 1/6 scale Smartech Tornado that I got on a trade. Its in very good shape but the motor thats in it is shot. Ive done looking on ebay but there are no parts that fit this large of a truck. It has a 2.5 SMT nitro motor with a broken rod and piston. Ive tried to swap in a Traxxas 2.5 but the mounts are all wrong and it wont bolt up right and it looks like Ill end up messing up the chassis and still wont get it to run properly if I start cutting and drilling. Does anyone know of a hobby shop in/around Chicago that stocks Smartech parts? Looking for hands-on advice, not a website,Thanks
