Zdz Rocks!

RollingHarrier · 01-16-2006, 05:54 PM

Check this out. Two years ago I bought a ZDZ 160 (non-Champion) from someone on RCU NIB. This was an orginal ZDZ when they first came out. I put it in my J'Tec 330L and flew it for a season. Over the winter I sent it RC Showcase to have the front bearing replaced because it was leaking pretty good.

They get it, took it apart and found the cylinders were gone! Wrong oil (my bad) Had them rebuild it and they got it back to me just before Joe Nall last year( Using the correct oil now) . I flew it all last summer and this last fall I noticed the front bearing was leaking again so I sent it back.
Well I got home today and found a box on my counter. It was a brand new 160 Champion! They decided it wasn't worth trying to fix the older version. These guys ROCK!!!! Thanks Mike and RCShowcase.

Thats the kind of service were all looking for.

Hats off to Mike & Dave @ RcShowcase

NEWS BULLETIN......Someone other than DA can have great service too

You gotta' love that!

That helps me make my decision on whether or not to buy that ZDZ-80 I was thinking about.

Thanks for the info.

Rob B · 01-16-2006, 10:25 PM

I recently got a zdz 80, sounds like I made a good choice

Neogenesis · 01-16-2006, 10:32 PM

Last I knew they no longer made parts for the old 160's. Parts are not compatible with the newer models. I had a buddy who needed a jug and couldn't get one.

Neo Out!!!!!!!

I had the same experience with my 3W150QS. It just never did live up to expectations and 3W (Germany) replaced it with a new 157 competition at no charge. It was all done through Cactus Aviation.
