Default Backorders??

Hey I was wondering if Hpi is always slow with Backorders? Don't get me wrong I love Hpi but I have been waiting for parts for about 3 months? My RC season is coming to an end because it is starting to get cold and it will start to snow soon.

The only thing HPI has ever kept me waiting on was a body. Back orders seem to an epidemic in the hobby
in the last couple of years, and not just car stuff. This summer I waited three months for Great Planes float
kit. By the time I got it, the float-fly event had came and went. Try a different LHS, for some unexplained
reason, some shops can get stuff when others can't. Good luck......Raider[sm=shades_smile.gif]

I have a bit of trouble with HPI backorders too. I had ordered a lower chassis plate for my rally right after the rally was discontinued and I couldn't get a frp or graphite one. They were on backorder at tower and the expected date kept moving up until they sent me a letter saying they couldn't get one for me.
