Frustrated Waiting

[DwightSchrute]

i sent in a MM about june 10, and got it back just over a month later...i got it july 12 or 13th, i think. i followed up alot though. when it was around the 4 week point, i called every other day to find out what dates they were working on.

that actually really impressed me.

I'm extremely anxious to get the MMM, but am going to wait till they come out with the neu combos. I actually want to get quite a few of the new systems. i'm getting tired of my twin V's...they overheat very easily, and i have to gear it super low.

I love the technology, but am tired of the wait too. I heard that tower now has oct. as the release date estimate for the MMM/neu combos...not sure if that true or not, but i share your frustration.
Hang in there dude.

I'm curious as to why there seem to be such a high failure rate on the MM. My bud had to send in a dead MM too not long ago along with a dead MMM, not sure if he got his back either. Personally I've been into R/C for 19yrs and have use just about all Mfg's out there, and CC as of late seems to be dropping the ball. I have started using Tekin stuff lately and am very pleased, goes for Novak stuff still hanging around too. I used Novak customer service only 2 times, and both times my stuff was back within 7-10 days top. I know everyone on on here knocks the HV system, but just stuck one in my E-revo and it hasnt skipped a beat even on 95 degree days.

I think it's due to the fact that a lot of us abuse them with 4S+ (), etc., etc.

Personally, I am very impressed by the Mamba Max. Can't wait for my V2 MMM to come my way from RC-M.

I'm doing both. I sent in a MM for repair on 7/8/08 and I called them earlier today, but she wasn't at the repair desk... I hate to say this, but i really hope CC doesn't turn into another Quark.

i was just at a race at phesant runn in holly mich. two guys were running the hvmaxx in a truggy, and buggy, both of them could not make 5 min, that system is just to mild for a big use, a revo is much calmer to motor and speedo, i have a mm in my losi 8 and jammin crt truggy, both run very well, if you properly treat them and set em up, they will go for a LONG TIME, more reliable than a mmm at this point still

True, An Erevo is lighter than a buggy. Novak should make a motor in the 2000kv range for heavier R/C's, these current 3000kv motors have alot of RPM, but lack the torque and really require some small pinions to work.

I have only been in rc for about 2 years.

I have sent esc's back to Castle 4 times. I can only say I'm pleased with the service from Castle.

There was a bit of a wait on the MMM v1, but we all know what was going on with that. I guess I'm more patient than most people.

I guess it's a good thing rc is only one of my many hobbies.

I was okay with the first one that took 3 week, I was not happy but not really mad with the second one that took 6 weeks, but this last one that looks like at best is going to take 8 weeks is enough to make me mad and I think with good reason. When I talked to them last time I was told how much better things are now which to me was kind of like pouring salt on an open wound as it is taking longer every time I send one in. How is that "better"?
