I think the original question here was legit. The answer which I believe to be true is that with the v3, Castle has finally worked out the kinks and the MMMv3 should be solid. Thus they can start cranking them out to fill orders, repairs and Traxxas needs. As for timing, look how long it took for the E-Revo to ship after the initial announcement. There is plenty of time to build loads of v3's for all the demand.
