It comes with bullet connectors. Patrick said the soldered wires were only a temporary solution because the connectors didn't make it in time for production or something like that :)

Man, SunnyHouTx, I've seen your Rustler "Speed Bullet" on YouTube and I'm surprised someone beat you to the reply!!!

Actually, I'm amazed at the lightning fast reply of both posts! Thanks! I have one other question, but I don't want to sidetrack this thread...I'll PM you Sunny...

I am going off of how he frequently comes on this forum and answers questions and updates us. If I owned/operated a multi million dollar company and shipped out some long awaited ESC's I would surely post up on that. That is also marketing your product to hopefully increase your multi million dollar profits.

It seems kind of phony to me to see a multi-million dollar company having phone and email problems this long. Remember, he also makes products for the military and not having a means to communicate means loss dollars.

By the way, how hard would it be to have a backup system?

For one it doesnt matter how much your company makes. Down phone lines are out of reach for the company itself. I was out of power for 3 days once. I could have all the money in the world and it wasnt going to fix the problem. give em a break. i;m sure if it was possible to get the systems up they would.

I dont want to be all negative on this issue but there was a series of events that made me believe that there will be more delay...
First, Robo Market Place (not as good as RCM, Tower.. and Impakt but good service) jsut canceled my order. They are the ones who refunded me because it seems they've had multiple complains and they give up on CC. Heres the email.

"Jeff,

I just got off the phone with our distributor who said they don't expect to see the Mamba Monster until Mid-Sept.

With that being said we are going to go ahead and cancel the order for you and refund your paypal..

Sorry for this inconvenience..

Do you still want the RC Switch? If so we will cancel the order and you can place a new order for the RC Switch.

Hope this helps and have a great weekend!

Thank you

Second, Impakt RC just pulled their pre-order and responded that they did it because they dont know when the next batch is coming....

Third, we've only heard about the 2 guys with beta and that's it.....not no news...

For a household to loose phone and internet connect for a week would be normal but for a 11million dollar company to loose connection is crazy...unless area has been hit a major hurricane and flooding. I guess what I'm saying is that something might have happened to those stencil or it could be that they are already doing the mass production and everyone is soldering connectors that no one can answer the phone but I hope at least someone will tell us they delay....Its normal to have delay...even Mike gets delay, Tower got some delay but to tell everyone "in the next 2 weeks" after another 2 weeks and another...turns out to be 5 months well i dont know......I know that for a complicated process like they go thru it unavoidable to get setbacks and get delay but for a 5mos delay on other is bad for business....and CC is not the one taking the heat. Its the small companies that resell them...


Sorry for the rant 4months into waiting and 2 of my 4 orders had been cancelled because shopped decided to quit on CC....I guess I should have gotten the picture...

Ohhh I think the one who took the bet with Patrick....is gonna WIN....

"On Monday, about 9:00am, UPS will deliver a pair of MMM stencils. A stencil (in the electronics world) is a large piece of nickel plated stainless steel, about .006" thick, stretched tight into a 29" x 29" tubular aluminum frame. The thin sheet of stainless has apertures cut out of it with a laser, and is used for putting solder onto a circuit board. The solder is printed onto the circuit board using a machine called a "stencil printer." Our stencil printer is a Dek Horizon printer. You can click on the link below to get more information about the Dek Horizon stencil printer:"

Considering last monday Joe said that they were getting a shipment of stencils from ups at 9am and they would be going into full production and now over a week later joe has not been heard from, well seems strange to me, the guy was very excited sounding and was updating us almost dailey and then he just went silent.
