False Advertisement

I was looking at my ZZ owner's manual today and I found something quite interesting. The car on the front page of the manual is a BCG! Notice how the rims are the chrome multi-spoke rims on a BCG. The PCB is shorter and more complex than the one on ZZ, I compared it with my MS circuit boards and it's a match! The antenna is grey, not red or yellow, and if you look super closely, you can see that the heatsink is not screwed down. Finally, notice how the body is not a 911 Turbo, as the actual ZZ is, it is a 1997-1999 911 Carrera. You can tell this because the headlights curve into a bubble, not a point. I want my money back, RS isn't selling the products they advertise!

Better yet take a look at the schematic in the background. It's a bit no doubt.

Thanks kwikbb, here's an even closer pic. Now you can see the detail. Also notice how the antenna goes through a gaping hole, not a small drilled one like on actual ZZ.

Yeah who cares. Every single bit, MS, and zip zap as well as all the clones are all probably made in the same factory in China. They just build them to each company's specs.
