MMM new shipment batch?
 

Anyone have an idea when they will be shipping out the esc for replacements?

I was told within 2 weeks, 14 days ago today... instead of emailing castle again figured i would ask here ;)

Thanks!

:whistle:

I was contacted via email last Friday and was told it could be up to 4 weeks befor I see mine ? I'm not to terribley worried tho, I have plenty of spares :oops:

ha thats a bummer.

yup...i have 2 over there right now. one has been there going on 4 weeks and the other one 2-3 weeks. i'm kinda glad i still have some nitros to roll. this wait time sucks. :yes: :whistle:

One shipped today!

chalk another one up to Castle...MINE'S BEEN THERE SINCE JULY!!!!

boy....what great customer service. i just tried calling them and the phone just rings and rings...dialed again to see if i had the right number...just more ringing.

AGHHHHHHHH!!

dunno what you are talking about... had to wait a bit, but they shipped it.

i just meant that you didn't seem to have the same wait time i did for my repair. my esc has been there since july 23. your's shipped..i haven't heard anything from Castle at all. it's really frustrating.

well mine had been there way before july 23rd, so im sure they will get to you.

Ohhhh.......SHIT, dude. my bad. i thought you had sent it in just a couple of weeks ago.

i was writing a pretty harsh complaint to Castle based on that
mis-understanding. Thanks for cleraring that up. Now I feel like an
A-hole. :lol:

Ya 2 weeks ago was when the 4 weeks was up ... So it's been with them for about 6 weeks heh

wow...i sure feel like an ass now. I called Castle before your post about you having to wait 6 weeks and the tech told me that it would be atleast a couple of more weeks for me. when i said to him that there was a member here at RC-Monster that got his back after a couple of weeks, he said that was "inaccurate" and that they had a pretty big backlog.

i didn't believe him based on what you wrote so i started to write a big complaint letter to send due to my frustration. i'm glad i saw your post and deleted the complaint.
i'm a giant douschebag :lol:

Shame on you ;) you should know better :) LOL

well said. :yes:

Ha well it takes a better man to admit when they are wrong. Maybe you should shot an email to the tech guys and explain the error ;)....


They said they were expecting 300-400 units in this batch so maybe they will get yours out soon! Castle has always been good about tech support / customer services. Remember they did do a whole warehouse switch during this period so they could have added to the delays .... Who know

DS,

I just double checked with the repair department, and it looks like you have 2 monsters in for repair? (If I'm looking at the right person) and as luck would have it, they are both shipping out today. You should get an e-mail confirmation from the shipping department shortly. Sorry for the long delay, we are slowly finishing up a batch of 400 Monsters that should completely clear out the current repair back log.

Let me know if you don't get that e-mail, just shoot me a PM with your info. We do try to make it fair and always ship repairs in the order they are received. Normally something from a month ago would be shipped first, but we did have some from 6 weeks ago. Those have already shipped and we're getting out controllers from ~ 4 weeks ago. We really do appreciate everyone's understanding on this situation. This was an abnormal occurrence and measures have been put into place to avoid a situation like this again.

Thomas,


I had 2 on order that were sent in just about a week apart in late July. I pm'd you my information and I really appreciate the help in light of the giant ass that I was.

thanks again,

Jeff,

Great news. Both Monsters are on the way to you now. Yours was about 3 away from getting invoiced when you were talking with Charles. Sorry for the long delay, but it looks like you'll have your Monster's back shortly.

Thomas, any way you can check if my 2nd MMM would be shipping today? Name "Alessandro Garabaghi" if not its not a big deal but i would love to know.

Alessandro,

The repair was just processed today, so it will all depend on when they get enough controllers produced to cover the current backlog. As long as we have enough to cover the current backlog, it shouldn't be too long. It probably won't be next week, but the first full week of September.

Ah no worries, i just sent you a PM disregard =P

Thomas,

Is it possible for international buyers to send their Monster for repair? Actually I have 2 brand new MMM (V1 and V2) that I want to change for a later version. I believe that this is possible under non-warranty repair where I have to pay $70. But is this applicable for international buyers? (I used to live in Indiana but then moved back to my home country, Malaysia).

I can't speak on Castles behalf but I think they will replace both your ESC's no questions asked due to them being the older versions. No $ nessasary.

Of course! We always support international customers. V1's and V2's have lifetime warranties, so you can send those in at any time and get them swapped for brand new controllers at no charge. Because they are warranty, there is no charge for the replacement and no charge for shipping back to you. Some companies choose to charge to ship back a warranty claim. We don't like this policy, it seems strange to us to make a customer pay to get back a product that failed because of an issue with the controller; so the only cost incurred is the shipping to us. Just FYI: for non-warranty claims, the flat repair fee includes the shipping back, even for international customers.

So get those old Monsters sent in to us and we'll get you back 2 brand new Monsters.

I have a mmm with the plug in battery connectors, does that mean its a v1 or v2?

it could be either one...i think, if i'm remembering it right, even the first few
v3's were also plug in weren't they?
