If that's the case, how come I have not received any notification about the shipping of my V3?

He didn't say they build 35,000 MMM's a month, but that they build 35,000 ESC's a month. Also, he stated in another thread that only 25 V3's were sent out to people as replacements thus far. He said they just received the new cases today at their facility, so it may still be a little bit before others are shipped out. The V3's that shipped already were in the old cases.

I had a Revo with a 1515 1.5D and didn't have a problem with the shafts, but I obliterated the rear diff (yes, it was properly shimmed) in under 1 hour of use. That coupled with other problems (like snapping the chassis) made me sell it. As long as there's room in my non-Traxxas RCs to mount the MMM I'm happy.

Because we aren't building the V3s yet. Late this week we will start.

As has been discussed the MMM in the traxxas pictures are v2 - check the bullets on both sides of the MMM - Traxxas wanted to get this out for iHobby which is not unusual - I'm sure they will be in the shops for around end of Nov for Xmas sales.

Thanks Patrick.
