yea. secret services, xat racing or z fever are good local shops. there are many non-local shops to buy clips/engines. best case scenario is to be able to see and check out the motor before you buy it. here in florida we are limited because shops here tend to buy to order, so no inventory so to speak. i have been to LA area many times and most shops there have inventory so you can see what you are buying. PM me for some good shops in LA/socal area. i know my way aroung there and i go there often. my next trip is 4th of july weekend (tentative) or the week after that.
