Other companies are just a stone wall, all you can do is speculate. I enjoyed the inside information and following the progress of MMM.

wow i leave for a week and come back to this. Well a little late but...
Patrick -
sorry to hear about the situation. I personally like to hear the updates rather they are good or bad. I have always said i wont be mad if the news is bad as long as i know. If you put it off then i find out later than i am pissed. However i have never experienced this with castle. my castle experience has been great.

Others-
This is the internet so grown adults aka children will bitch and complain when all it does is piss people off. the same people repeatedly complain about the same thing. I'm sure we all know what problems you are having, give it a rest.
You don't want the product get your money back and buy somethings else.

I am not perfect and neither are you. nuff said.

simple solution .. make a private forum for only members that are all grown up.
i belong to a mechanic web site and we have just that.

BrianG, give me your paypal addy and I will send you money to do this. I think many other of the long time RCM users would fund you nicely as well. I got $200.00 for you myself! No joke!

I'm all for that! too bad I'd be joining them I might not be a mad, angry, bash the company type, but a for 35 year old child I am on the immature side.

Well, I think that Patrick should quit posting, and have someone like Joe Ford take his place in terms of posting frequency. I'd much rather have Patrick, the head engineer, working as often as he needs to as opposed to popping in here to say hi and stuff. He doesn't HAVE to register on a forum to update us; I think he's doing that because he's truly a good guy. Think about it. Instead of having to deal with the occasional irrational post (let's face it, if you see a post calling you out on something, you REALLY want to deal with it- that's just how we work sometimes), he can be better focusing on fixing things, or at least figuring out what is going on. That's my opinion though (and my MM, not MMM since I don't have one, is still chugging away on a 3s lipo and medusa 4800- so I'm not mad about anything......).

(I just woke up, so this post may not be coherent....)

Patrick,

I for one just got power back today here in Houston (still millions without and much worse) and can very well understand your motivations. I wish at the least that maybe Mike would consider giving you and update post that could only be added to by you and forum mods as to give us up to date information. I very much appreciate your honesty and participation in the forums and hate that recently it has filled up with imbeciles intent on the degradation of the quality and information here.

I also want to let you know personally Patrick that in the aftermath of the storm I was very thankful for the MMM and my Tekno Neu. I hooked my maxx up to my 2 year old sons wagon and spent a lot of time entertaining him pulling him around the sidewalk and streets at my in laws house. Many other kids in the neighborhood were very jealous of the Neu/MMM/Flightpower powered wagon and my sone enjoyed it emmensly. It was so nice to have some aid in helping him pass the time.

For the others, lighten up, CC will get this thing fixed and quick the ridiculous and immature bashing.

Patrick, continue posting don't give up...suck it up soldier!

I have been a member here for some time. There was a time I bashed a knwon company once. But it was for the service, not the product. I agree with most here, I think CC is great and tries really hard to please. IMO, the ones that are burning up are most likely user solder error, user error, connection error, bashing error, and MAYBE a faulty esc. When I bought my Quark 125b, I know many that have burned them up, have internal lose pads, etc. I opened mine up the other day for the first time, and my pads are just fine. What does this have to do with CC? All about electronics! Many times it is user end failure. I have heard that most that have fried their MMM use Spectrum equipment. In fact, other esc's too. Something to check out. Could be faulty parts internally as well, but I find that most that fry esc's is due to a lose connection somewhere or user failure, has nothing to do with the company itself. CC has always been good to me. Always answered every question I had.

With that said, I personally purposely waited for others to test the new esc. Why? As it was said, there are bound ot be bugs. And I have to agree that those who knew about it, then purchased it, have nothing to complain about. I also think, that if anyone thinks CC is soo bad, try schultz, talk about no service!!!!! You don't see them here do ya?

I would welcome a constructive dialogue with Castle as well and that would require Patrick and everyone from Castle to feel comfortable posting here. I bet we already would have much more and much more detailed information about what Castle is doing right now to help us when there was less (brainless) bashing around here. I can perfectly understand Patrick. Other companies don't have forums either probably because of exactly the same problem... people who can't be constructive and can't really talk to people in a civilized manner.

Sure, it's frustrating... I can also understand everyone's frustration. My MMM also fried on the first run. I talked to a castle tech and he asked me all the stuff he needed. They're gonna replace my controller and that's all that counts for me right now. Patrick (and all the techs I've talked to/exchanged emails with) seemed very competent and willing to help so I doubt they sit on their lazy butts and ignore our issues. Anyway... I'd really like to see Patrick (and the others too of course, Bernie, Joe etc.) continue posting here!

Isn't this horse dead yet?
I think everything that could be said, has been said.
I'd really like to see the CC Topic start moving in a better direction... say.. Maybe about the great email Thomas sent out updating everyone about the MMM problem and their plans, etc.
Time to move on...
