I corrected him, saying that there were indeed three versions of the PCB, and this was a common symptom of the older versions with the faster motors.
He still argued about it although I showed him pics of the first two PCB versions LOL. Then in his wealth of knowledge, he overcharged me for another part I was buying, and sold my nephew the wrong Lithium battery that's shown on the ZipZaps web site for the LED thing. The one that he sold us was WAY too big to fit in the ZipZap, ended going back to the store to buy the *correct* battery, and get a refund for the part that he overcharged me for... aarrggghhh...

Sorry to dig up this extremely old thread, but I had to add another R$ experience today.
I bought one of the new red 350Z's, and the body doesn't fit properly on the chassis. The way it is on the specific one that I bought, the antenna wire is being flattened by the windshield of the body. I also noticed that body is extremely hard to take off and snap on.
Anyhow, my father was heading towards R$ and I asked him to exchange it for me (seeing that he was heading that way anyways). The R$ bonehead said that the antenna wire isn't covered by the warranty, and gave my father a hard time trying to exchange it. He finally agreed... when I received the replacement ZipZap, the R$ nut had removed the screwdriver from the new one, saying that he couldn't find the original. Now I know that this is trivial, but doggonit! The scredriver was in the little hole on the transmitter. Time for another ride down to R$ just to pick up my counfounded screwdriver!
Anyways, that's a real crock about the antenna wire... not covered under the waranty? Horseshot, I say!
