This was taken from a consumer advisory site about the sale of goods act:-
In general, the onus is on all purchasers to prove the goods did not conform to contract (e.g. was inherently faulty) and should have reasonably lasted until this point in time (i.e. perishable goods do not last for six years).
• If a consumer chooses to request a repair or replacement, then for the first six months after purchase it will be for the retailer to prove the goods did conform to contract (e.g. were not inherently faulty)
• After six months and until the end of the six years, it is for the consumer to prove the lack of conformity.
What I find interesting is that when chassis protectors were being banned there were a lot of posts suggesting that OTK chassis would not last more than a couple of races without them - no suggestion though that the chassis as supplied was not fir for purpose.
However, if the Storm does have a basic design fault then it should be sorted.
