electronic components do break down its in the numbers, when you have thousands made...I bought the Maytag stainless steel bottom freezer french door H20 refrigarator which ran about $2500 and after the 1st month it broke down to say my wife was dissapointed would be a very big understatement and luckily we had signed up for the warranty, but we did lose a bunch of food...it turned out to be a bad circuit board the tech that came to the house knew what it was before even looking at it

MK351 and others --

I do feel your pain. We are working hard here to resolve the problem and have replacements ASAP.

We ordered the new circuit boards last week, and they should be here in a week. We are probably three weeks from first deliveries of replacement units.

We did do a Beta on the MMM, but did not see the same problems we had with production units. The Beta units used a different batch of components, and didn't have the same issue with failures as the production units.

well, there IS a lot of CC butt kissing that goes on here, and maybe it is well deserved, I don't know - this was my 1st purchase. And maybe I did go slightly overboard, BUT, to say that this situation sucks; well, that's a bit of an understatement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so psyched to get my truck going! I bought a brand new truck (Muggy), and that's always fun, and I ditched every single item I own that's related to nitro to fund this very expensive project. I spent quite some time putting it all together, and then, poof! I would have been happier if I got a couple of minutes runtime at the very least, but I never even got to finish calibration.

I'm sure castle is upset and stressed out, but given my particular circumstances, I just wanted a working ESC, and I wanted it a few weeks ago. I know they'll fix it, but, well, this sucks!! Have I mentioned that already???

See your problem is you didn't get to run it at all. I ran mine and even when it died I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. After experiencing how smooth and powerful the MMM can be I know it will be worth the now extended wait to get it running.
