Unfortunately, every village has it's idiots. The rest of us appreciate your efforts to keep us informed and understand why you don't bother responding to the aforementioned.

All I'm trying to say is that a few guildlines of what will be tolerated and what won't would be nice to help protect the people like Patrick from being driven out of a board and not wanting to answer any Question's.

ok here is my point of view i just spent 180 dollars on a speed control for my race buggy. it lasted 1 pack then it goes out. im in a points series so my buggy running is a big thing to me. (thanks to jhautz it is running).
i send in my mmm on monday you get it wednesday. its now monday the following week i have not been contacted about any issues like i was told i have not been contacted about the condition of my item.

Now i come on a forum where castle has there own section about there products and the one person says theyre not posting because of product bashing


Im losing faith in castle as i read through this thread you released a product that has failed on a lot of people step up to the plate and fix the problem and i bet the product bashing would stop

+1 For supporting Patrick!!!!

I for one think this forum is the best RC forum on the net. To have Patrick come on here and update us with what is happening is awesome and totally above and beyond his call of duty.
Don't listen to the haters Patrick :wink: .

Hold on, whats this thread about? I thought it was about patrick leaving the forum, not about people who lost points because their car wasn't running.

Do you want castle to stay or go? I couldn't figure it out from your post... having castle leave certainly won't fix your buggy, it will just keep you in the dark on how long itll be till its fixed.

MIght not be the right thread to post this in but here it goes!

Anyone that has purchased a MMM since they where released, not pre-ordered and received, but has actually ordered one since the first reports of failures.....This goes out to you.

You knew you where purchasing a new product that hasn't been proven yet, a product that you knew had failures....Yet you purchased it anyways. You are the people that really have no right to be putting Castle down! You knew that it could happen, that it could die on you and you took the chance. Don't whine that your down and out!!! I purchased a MMM from a member on here about a month after they where released, I knew that it could die on me, and it did. I'm not whining about it, I sent it in and Castle replaced it, if my new one dies I'll send that in and wait again, I knew what I was getting into and so don't YOU!!!

hey either way he hasnt told me crap about my mmm ytes points are important if thats the case i should have stayed nitro


and its about the fact that they want to give up on a forum because of product bashing if they would fix the problem i bet the bashign would stop

Yes, Patrick is one of the reasons why this forum is the best :party:

Actually, there are at least 4 CC employees registered here. And they HAVE stepped up to the plate and addressed the problems they found - hence MMM V2. Hindsight is always 20/20, so everything looks so simple once you know the answer. I'm sure CC is taking a huge hit replacing the V1s that failed; they're basically going in the garbage. Manufacturers with Castle's level of customer focus are VERY few and far between.

I could understand the bashing if they weren't doing anything. But they are. Patrick even said that there are a bunch out there with no problems, and then there are those with multiple problems in a row. So, to them it looks like a setup issue for those. Kinda hard to fix something when you don't know the problem.

I said it once and I'll say it again; instead of whining about how much CC sucks or whatever, don't buy their products. Simple as that. Go out and get another brand ESC. Have fun finding something even near comparable for the price and CS that Castle has. They'll discover the problems eventually.

******Reality CheckTime******

We are all palying with tiny cars! This is a HOBBY! If you are not having fun in this hobby, it is time to quit and move on to something else, like quilting!

******End of Reality Check Time******

I will say that I always work with the idea that I should be having a good time with r/c. If I start getting pissed (or pissy like some people) it is time to go find something else to do. Playing with tiny cars is not everything in life. If your MMM craps out, send it back, and enjoy some time with a family member, or friend. Go see a movie, have dinner, or drive around in the red light district. Or take a quiet evening to memorize the kv values for all of the 15 series neu motors, or get a tattoo of series and parallel wiring for future reference. Just do something!

Even I'm not that much of a nerd/geek! Although I had thought about an armband tattoo that consisted of tiny binary 0's and 1's that would decode to my son's name. To the casual observer, it would like an odd tribal pattern until they were close enough to see the detail. :oops:

Like continue playing with your nitro :intello::lol::intello::lol::intello::rofl:.

No nitro for me... I have the magical ability to keep all of my electric r/cs running. Only smoked one esc and that was a modded MM during some testing on 5s way overgeared. And that was due to a rock in the spur.

I do have a few buddies that have nitro trucks, and it is always fun to give them tuning tips while I drive an electric... I can hear what the little nitro engines are doing, and can usually get one perfectly tuned by the time it warms up. I just cannot stand the noise or the smell. Those are the two "realistic" points that nitro lovers always bring up. A nitro engine does not sound or smell like anything other than a nitro engine, so it is realistically equivalent to itself, not a real engine.

Having a dozen trucks does not hurt my chances of having something r/c to play with, and the other 20 or so will always be waiting for me to fix/mod!

this is a hobby yes they are toy cars..... i think everyone understands that but its not like im playing with a 10 dollar item. i hope castle fixes the problem and instead of him posting why he is not going to post anymore maybe he should post what they have been figuring out from the data that they have recieved that would keep more people happy. and thanks patrick for this update of why your not posting.

MMMMMMmmmmm, cheesecake!!!

Is it New York style? I love the graham cracker crust. WOOT!
