hobby town hasn't gotten the 3.3 engines yet. its been three and a half weeks since i ordered it and I'm gettin a little annoyed since i payed 130 bucks for it. I've been calling hobby town everyday now but still nothing ): hopefully its in today when i get home from school
 
hobby town here is having issues getting things as well.

I've been waiting on a HPI dogbone for 3 weeks tommorow.

My local hobbytown has one in stock, the problem I have is that I ordered a part for my Ofna, and he said it would be there last Wednesday, then Friday, now Wednesday again. When I get paid next week I think I'll be ordering it online.
 
Why would you order something through a LHS? I know my local one is ******. Why pay someone to do something you could do for free at the house? Towerhobbies gets my items to me in 5 days from clicking submit. That is sick fast. That is also why I have 2 cars so if one is down I am not tempted to go into the LHS and pay a rediculus markup for something. I order, play with the other car till parts arrive. Only thing I purchase at the LHS is fuel. And beleive me I have looked online for fuel also but shipping hazmat matrials is high.

I have kind of a sour taste in my mouth for my LHS if you couldn't tell. When you walk in with some of the most popular vehicles and they don't have spur gears or a-arms for it it kind of seals the deal for me.

Yea I saw on eBay I could have gotten a 3.3 for cheaper then at hobby town. I think I'm gonna stop ordering from hobby town. Oh and btw I made a mistake, tomorrow will be the 4 week mark since I ordered my engine
 
Good thing I didn't get my bulkheads online.

I just drove approx. 32 miles to get there. lol.
I had been broken for 3.5 weeks as it was.
 
EBAY is mush cheaper and faster. I don't mind supporting the local Hobby Shop but hey if I can get it cheaper and faster too bad.
