I have one of the Snap-On tools Smartech Tornado 1/6 scale trucks. Is this the correct forum for info? It seems like most people consider them junk which is all the more reason to get help!! Thanks.

yes mate the right place to post questions or concerns

I have the f150 version. So far it's been a blast, but ya, cheaply made. After about 4 tanks my rear diff was sounding horrible, so I replaced it with the front diff and run 2 wheel drive. Now I need a wheely bar I've stripped mine bare and rebuilt, couple of minor breaks (brace for wheel hub, but they're the same for all four so you can swap them)
It's still nitro though, not gas. You'll find more help in the Monster Truck forum.

Here's some pics (stripped the ugly green flames off, added my logo to submit for advertizing funds, lol)

OK, thanks! Mine is white and orange and an F150 body. I ordered 2 sets of diff gears and boxes from the factory, only $38 for all of it. Thats not a bad price. The truck is a blast though! Some people were saying that it is the same as one of the Duratrax?? trucks?

There is also a 1/5 by smartech that has the gas engine (same as Firehammer MT) I haven't found any compatible trucks for the 1/6 though

Oh, ok, maybe that was what they were talking about. Thanks!
