Were you the one that had his new v160 trashed by UPS during shipping? That was definitely one of the lowest points I'd ever read in this forum.

They clutch wasn't on right and it caused binding. They took it out and fixed it. Basically what Kyle had said.

Replied to your text. Let me know if you want to pick up my spare battery (tonight, if you'd like).
