Actually, theres a good hobby town in rockford. It's not your typical hobby town. The guy that runs the place is Jeremy and he's always helpful and doesn't try to sell you what you don't need. I just bought an engine off of him yesterday. He had an orion wasp 18 that he was installing in one of his own vehicles and he broke the crank putting on the clutch nut. He sold it to me for about 1/2 the price. All I really wanted was the piston/sleeve, but now I have an extra everything but a crank.
