sorry to hear that you had trouble with the zz you bought... i have purchased four so far, but haven't experienced this problem...

the units do not require a lot of pressure to properly attach for charging... one shouldn't have to force the car onto or off the charger... i hold the car by the sides, then line up the controller latch to the hole on the carriage bottom, then press on lightly until a slight click is felt and the controller LED turns from green to red...

a slight press of the release button should release the car...

i'm at a loss as to how your car/controller didn't line up, but yes, i'd return the car for a new one... and you're lucky the store had one in stock! you should have bought another one at the same time!

btw, i did see a returned unit at my local RS... the clerk let me take a look... the motor wouldn't turn, even though it charged... i took off the shell, and of course, the motor latch was screwed down TIGHT...

i guess people don't read the instructions?
