I have to agree with The Wasp here. If that box was opened before the initial shipping, the seller owes everything spent. It should cost the consumer nothing. Doesn't matter who the seller is, someone there had to know he was shipping a less than acceptable kit and that just should not happen. And to all of you more well to do folks who think $39.00 should just be written off and forgotten, each of you send me $39.00 and I will place an order with Tower or Sig or DuBro or someone (maybe all of them) and never have to purchase any RC items again.
