Pretty much. And everyone in this hobby should have a dremel.... I have a knock-off that I bought at Northern tools... case and bits, $20 new.
Blitz... you already screwed the pooch by sanding & sealing on your own. You own it now. You can take it up with the mfg. Or just cut to the chase and taper the hole yourself.

Or, if you're not a cave man
buy a countersink bit and do it right. You should really have one anyway as they come in really handy in this hobby. Got mine for $4 at Harbor Freight.

You should have looked it over before sanding on the chassis. Seems to me it's your problem now, not that it is a problem with the chassis. The counter sink simply got missed during production. I've bought brand new cars that have had the same issue. You are simply making a big deal about something that could be fixed in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the seller sold you something with a defect. No one is sticking up for him.
BUT.... you decided to make your own modifications. And and such, it is now yours. Counter sink the hole and be done with it. Consider it two lessons learned.

IMO, the paypal claim is unnecessary. You could have fixed a manufacturing defect in a fraction of the time it took to file a claim and/or start this thread.
If he admitted to knowing about the defect and didn't tell you until after you received the item, now that's a little shady. But regardless of that, once you started sanding and sealing the chassis, it's on you now.

Looking at the original FS thread he posted good clear pictures, the ones you posted in this thread. I would expect you as the buyer to notice the missing countersink just as much as I would expect him to notice it. It's not something someone would notice at a glance. So to insinuate he is trying to rip you off as you have is a far stretch IMO.

I am the person who sold the chassis. I bought it, then moved on before ever trying to mount it. I didn't see that one hole wasn't countersunk. If I had, I would have fixed it before selling it. It's a 2 minute fix. I offered to refund his money if he hadn't altered the chassis, but of course he sanded and edge glue it. I sold this chassis for $50 shipped, a great deal. I think this very small manufacturing defect, which I had no knowledge of is a very small inconvenience. I have a 100% satisfaction rating on this forum, I wouldn't jeopardize it by trying to pull something shady.
You guys tell us how to remedy this please.

So I bought a carbon fiber chassis from a member here he said it was new so when I got it I started to sand the sides and add glue then I started putting the screws to the gear box and I notice one of the 4 holes that hold the screw for the rear gear box wasn't countersunk so I email the seller he said that it wasn't needed then I send him a pic of the pic from psm which that pic does show that one hole countersunk than he said it's a easy fix I can fix it myself so I'm paying for a new item which who would think there one screw hole not countersunk them I contacted him today asking how can we fix the issue he said that was between me and psm SO WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK ?
At first he said thre wasn't suppose to be one there that I didn't need it then he said it's a easy fix then at first he told me if I can't sell it I'll cut it to pieces

I'm about to I just needed some input from others but I did sand the sides and put glue but he did say before I bought it quoted " if you don't buy it I'll cut it in pieces " idk what he meant by that but he never made me aware of the one missing countersunk which he did say I didn't need it then he said it's a easy fix I suppose I'm paying for new why worry about getting something different or not done right by manufacture
