But when will the MMM's REALLY ship out??

[hoovhartid]

I understand the frustration. I too had a MMM V1 that I got little use out of (3 minutes).
However, I think Patrick has done a good job communicating with us as much as he has. What he last said was true. They DID start shipping by this week, in fact some shipped out last Friday. While he said that a batch 1000 ran through, he also mentioned that they were set up for soldering...The switches and such still need to be soldered on by hand. I am POSITIVE that they are working as fast as they can. What reason do they have to jerk anyone around? That kind of thinking just doesn't make sense to me. Makes about as much sense as posting in a thread instead of contacting the company direct Sorry man. I dont mean to make light of this because I understand your frustration, but I dont agree with airing dirty laundry like this/in this manner

Nice use of the forum smilies and very good points indeed.

azjc, it wasn't ducktape and bailing wire, it was a gum wrapper and two shoestrings!

Very well said.

i sent in one of my broken v1 and am still waiting to get it back but everything is ok since my other v1 is still working but not without a couple mods....i did the following to it:
-liquid nailed my 2 other mamba max's to the bottom and wired the 2MM and MMM in series
-managed to double the voltage via attaching the mother board from my laptop with bungie cords
-added a water cooling system for the 20 fans I have surrounding the whole system
-replaced all the 14 gauge wires with 1 gauge wires and no longer have any resistance...ANYWHERE..

I now run my 8ight on 20s 10,000mah lipos and it now skids across the water on stock wheels and also achieves 2 hour flight times

if anyone is interested in how i did all this send me a PM

currently working on inserting a flux capacitor so that it can travel back in time and save CC all the headaches that v1 is causing them and allow Mk351e
to have a working MMM so that he can enjoy his summer

sorry for this rather lax and totally off topic post but everyone feels better after laughing!!!!

the MMM are on their way....you gotta believe!!!!!

2 hour flight times is really good. but i may need 3. can you mod mine for this? Also i would like mine to be cooled with liquid nitrogen. Then i can only use 10 fans instead of 20.
