i wouldn't read too much into it until someone can compare the actual pcbs inside. typically there will be a rev number imprinted on the board. it could be something as simple as the company making the pcbs has two suppliers for the crystal receptacle.

since the changes aren't directly done to the pcb (until we have someone confirm there are changes with a magnifying glass) it may not have a new revision number on pcb

That's why I stuck the question mark in there. I'm not assuming anything, just noticed it, and brought it to the attention of everyone. I may have to pull them completely apart and check later.

I noticed on the super street magazine that came with my XMOD that the cars featured has a white thick wire that connects to the antenna, while mine is black, also on the magazine, the crystal pops out too, mine doesn't, does anybody notice this too?

O.K, with all this talk of problems with Skylines that have the higher crystal. I'm wondering if you guys know what the return policy is. I haven't had any problems with mine yet, but I haven't run it alot. I've spent most of my time with it painting it. Which leads me to my next question. Do you have to return the whole thing? Can you just exchange chassis? I painted my chasis will they still take it? Should I just go return my car now saying I have a problem and start all over. I currently have about 12 solid hours of paint time in my car with another 3 to 5 before it's done. This kinda sux

You probably cant return it with the paint still on it. You should take off the paint or something and then try to return it.

That seems stupid. I'll just hope nothing goes wrong or at the very least I'll be able to have it fixed if it does.Thanks

Something I noticed today in a RS. Looking at the Skylines, I noticed one with the tall reciever crystal didn't have the hood already installed, but the one with the short crystal did have the hood installed. Might not be much, but maybe helpfull when picking one up.
