As soon as we have a permanent fix to the BEC problem, it will be applied to all future Monster Max ESCs. When we are confident the problem has been resolved, we will be sending you a fully functioning unit. We will keep you updated on the situation as more information becomes available.

We apologize for any and all inconvenience or frustration this downtime may be causing you, but rest assured we are taking care of the problem.

We knew the bec was failing but they are saying that they have acknowledged this and that they are working on finding out why it is failing. Also that there will be a delay in the repair too.

****** FIRST POST!!! ******

Hello all, this is my first post on this forum.

I'm an RC-Monster customer since a week after owning my E-Revo (2-3 months ago), and have lurked since.


Mr. Del Castillo, your posts and information has kept me coming back to this site and now registering for this forum. I'm a proud owner of a 'STILL FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY' Mamba Monster V1 and love the product. I purchased this due to the overwhelming amount of people with nice things to say about your company's service. Your direct involvement means a lot to me, and has impressed me.

I sincerely hope you continue to post in the future.

Mark Mazurek


(Next, I get to post on the "who's got a working V1?" thread. Yippie!)

The people who bash CC, and Patrick by proxy, should be ashamed of themselves. They've taken for granted the fact that the top guy of this company takes time out to read our woes and revert back with his own personal replies. This is something rare. And they actually are doing something about it. When it comes to quality control and trouble shooting, there's a million variables to deal with, and when something goes wrong, it's not easy thing to investigate and mitigate, especially when you're carrying out regression testing.

Patrick and his team could have well chosen not to say anything at all save for a notice "We're sorry for your inconvenience, our diligent team is working on the issue and we will get back to you presently". But they didn't, and that shows a lot as to how committed they are towards their customers. And it might do you well to remember that it was CC that allowed many of us on a budget to finally be able to afford a quality, and reliable brushless system. Many people were expecting the same with the Monster, and felt frustrated that it was a flop, not once but twice. But at the same time, goodwill should mean something too.

So, to all the whiners and haters out here, please think twice before you post anymore unnecessary and hateful words, and put yourself in Patrick's shoes, both as a human being and a business man, who has his suppliers, dealers, staff, etc, and consider what he has done thus far in helping us out.

i agree, im no better than ayone elese and have vented my frustrations as well. but like passan said it is a very PERSONAL expirience using castle products. and it is this as well as their commitment to prividing theier cust. with high quality products that will keep me coming back. patience is a virtue(not one of mine) and its easy to speak on a forum vs. face to face. i have to remind myself they are in fact just toys and that in the end it will all work out.... somehow...
