How does the HRP Hookup Program work?

  1. All purchases are final. Any product that is defective or needs to be returned will be exchanged or a product credit will be issued. No refunds.
  2. You will be required to provide reviews and/or detailed feedback on the items you purchase. Your feedback will directly influence future product developments and improvements.
  3. We will email special offers to you occasionally in order to make you aware of new products, and potentially offer incentives for reviewing upcoming products.
  4. In order to prevent abuse, all orders will be reviewed upon receipt, and any unusual orders may be scrutinized and/or denied. Abuse of the program can result in termination of your account and possible legal action. HRP and its brands reserve the right to deny/terminate anyone, at any time, for any reason. We also reserve the right to change the guidelines, pricing and availability of product on the program at any time. Products purchased through this program are for personal use and cannot be re-sold.

What is the HRP Hookup Program?

The HRP Hookup Program is a pro-purchase program designed exclusively for qualified industry professionals and enthusiasts. In exchange for your experience and influence in the industry, we offer HRP Hookup Program members significant discounts.

How do I join the HRP Hookup Program?

Click here to download the application. Once completed, email the completed form and introduction letter/resume to hrphookup@hrpdist.com. Not all applicants will be approved.

*Hint: Your introduction letter/resume should have a strong focus on how you would become a benefit to Hobby Rec as a member of the program. "I have raced for "X" years, and love to help new racers" will not help you stand out. Sending only race results is a sure-fire way to be denied. This is NOT a race team.

Can I order for My Friends and Family?

NO. If we suspect that you have ordered anything for anyone other than yourself, your account will immediately be terminated. Abuse of the HRP Hookup Program is a serious issue and will not be tolerated. In applying for membership, you must agree not to purchase products for others.

Why can I only ship to my billing address?

This is for security purposes. Most credit card fraud occurs when these addresses are different. This is for the security and safety of yourself and HRP. If you need a one-time exception, please contact us. 

What is the discount amount?

In most cases, the discount is a significant percentage below retail pricing. Pricing varies from brand to brand and from product to product. Pricing can change at any time and is subject to availability.

Why should I join?

You can get the best deals on the latest RC products from the top brands in the industry. All we ask is that you provide honest and detailed feedback from your experiences with the products, and be a positive influence on behalf of the brands we sale. Your insights will directly influence future product developments and improvements.

Can I order for my club, team or track?

NO. This program is for individuals and store buyers interested in small quantities for product testing purposes. Dealers interested in larger quantities for resell purposes should contact newaccounts@hrpdist.com for an application.

How do orders ship?

Orders are processed from our Utah warehouse and ship using ground methods. Expedited shipping is not available for the HRP Hookup Program.

Can I backorder items that are out of stock?

NO. The Hookup Program only applies to in stock items. You may, however, sign up to receive email notifications when product arrives. This can be done from each products detail page.
