Never order Factory direct...

Never order Factory direct...
As some may know I had to order some parts from Hot Bodies directly.. Mainly because they offer one part that none of the other online stores offer.. It is sway bar links.. I could probably find something that would work, but decided to order from them for this item and Front and Rear A-arms..
I ordered:
1 - Swaybar Set (HBC8108) ........ This is the one that no one else seems to carry.
1 - Front A-Arm set (67808)
1 - Rear A-Arm set (67809)
I got:
1 - Swaybar Set
2 - Rear A-Arm sets.
And since the front is broken I am outa commision until the ones I just ordered from R/C Planet get here.. I called HPI/HB and left a message.. I doubt I ever get a call back considering I have called them 3 times previous to this and got 1 answer and 2 no call backs.. If you can deal with anyone other than HB to get your parts do it.. HPi Customer Service is very low on my list right now..

this could happen anywhere, just depends who is packing the orders or working the phones. i, personally, have had great customer service from hb when i had a lightning. i don't think its entirely appropriate to throw a blanket statement on all factory direct channels.

Sorry to here that you didn't get your part you ordered... if your ever in a bind and can't find or need a part in a rush, just send me a PM.... You should have let me send you them parts when I asked you last week
Don't let this get ya down.... I'm sure HB will take care of ya

And your right I shoulda taken you up on your offer. The good news is the race I wanted to attend was cancelled due to extreme cold weather. It was highs of 19 on race day.. And had been cold like that for about 5 days prior..
