Hydra 240 Hv's Dead Batch

[SunnyHouTX]

So now you see why Castle doesn't want to send out faulty MMM's right? And why do you not want to buy a MMM from Castle when it is only an isolated Hydra 240 that is bad (notwithstanding what Mr. Fine says about a bad batch)?

Like somebody said before, Castle is in a "d@mned if you do, d@mned if you don't" situation. I payed for my MMM pre-order from RC-M back in May and have understood the issues that Castle had with one component from an outside source. Knowing that that problem is now fixed I can't wait to get mine.

Well, I just got done talking with Thomas about this issue, and it seems that only Chris got these "bad" controllers.

We have had issues like this in the past, where a single shipment has problems, and other shipments from the same batch don't have problems.

I have speculated that it might be an issue with the controllers for a particular shipment are exposed to high power Xrays (checking the mail???) during shipment, but I'm not sure exactly why it happens. Usually, we get them back, reprogram the microprocessor, and all is fine. It seems that part of the memory is being erased during the shipment.

Coolrunnings -- sorry about the issue. If you would like to contact us, I'm sure we can get you a replacement out if Chris doesn't resolve the issue.
