I was the first to report a failure, but I will be the last to get it back . I was originally told to not send mine in and to return it in the packaging my replacement came in. After the 45 day mark I called back and was instructed to send it in. So I have a feeling that this puts me at the end of the list.

based on what I've seen, and going on my gut feeling, there is no list, and if there was, it wouldn't matter. Too bad mgm is on vacation, and the exchange rate hurts.

Well so far in America hes the only one who has stepped up to mass produce a controller like this with great software for our "toys". Other will follow with ease once he has carved the path and taken the beating... smokin the rightous herb of patience and understanding.

Aww man Dicky I hope they have "a buncha Monsters" as stated and you get yours asap. I will give my offerings to the RC gods in your name.. I hope you dropped Patrick a PM and let some of the others at the office know the deal so you get to the front of the line !

nah, I bought an MM, soldered an ubec to it, added a fan and dropped my revo to 4s and have been driving ;) when the MMM finally comes I will put it back in the revo and find some new project for a then spare MM

I did the same thing for my buggy. I wonder how many MM's were bought by people who bought the MMM & could not go without running while they waited on their repairs.

I bought 3 Mambas and 3 CC becs, I didnt own a Mamba max before my Monster failed. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...t=mamba&page=6 It worked so well on 4s with a 1Y I bought 2 more for a 9xl and a 1.5d. Im going to try and plug 5s into one when I get my 2nd MMM off back order and have one to spare LOL

I'm not talking about retail shipments or anything other than repairs, because, quite frankly, if I didn't already buy mine, there's NO way in hell I would consider one of these products. I do not care about anyone waiting for one that did not receive a V1. If you didn't get a broken V1, and your're waiting for a V2, do yourself a favor, go buy an MGM; I hear they actually work, and you will receive your order! Yes, they cost much more, but you WILL ACTUALLY GET A PRODUCT!!! If you're gonna wait for a working V1, please email me; I have a bridge for sale you may be interested in at a great price!

I would guess first in first out too. Seems logical, though I doubt that they operate on that level of organization. But my point is: some people here claim they have theirs, or they have an email with a tracking number. Patrick claimed last week that they would start shipping early this week. But Christy and the receptionist both told me yesterday that only like 6 or 7 have shipped to beta testers, and they hope to start shipping next week! Somebody here is full of shit, and it's REALLY starting to get to me!!! I spent A LOT of money, and A LOT of time on this crap, and all I have is a complete high priced conversion with no controller. I also have no idea when the one I bought in APRIL is coming, and all I hear are conflicting guesstimates.

So, who's full of it? Christy and the receptionist? Has Patrick figured out a great way to piss people off even further? Or are there people on this board blowing smoke up our asses? And why?? Why bother?

WHERE IS MY CONTROLLER?????????????

What a joke this whole thing is, but I'm the real idiot here. Waiting four months to receive a working product.

why not quit your rant and stfu...if you can afford a controler that cost $365 why all the bitching about the $150...just think of it as money in the bank....you waited this long...a little longer is not going to hurt a high roller like you....buy a $2 towel and dry up those tears.....and guess what?...MGM dont have that great a reputation anyway.......so go ahead and spend the $365 for something that could give as much or more trouble in the long run

just my 2 cents if you want it or not

My 2 Monsters shipped today so Iam stoked.Yea had to wait but my 2 MMs with becs are working great and it will be a worth the waiting.Bravo Patrick

You may not think MGM's reputation is that great but there are two things in their favour, you'll actually get something for your money and won't have waited 4+ months for it and their customer service is 1st class. I got flamed for posting on the CC support forum for being a new member with an attitude but I've simply reached the point of giving up waiting on the V.2's arrival here in the U.K. and ordered the MGM.
I can't understand why so many people on this forum are so patient, if people here were messed around as much as this they would have voted with their dollars/feet and taken their custom elsewhere and the company woud probably be bankrupt by now.
I just hope your patience isn't misplaced and it lives up to your expectations .

They may be big in RC, and for what they do, but let's face it, RC ain't exactly "the thing to do", nor are brushless conversions of nitro RC vehicles. Anybody who thinks this is a popular hobby, and that any rc company is really big needs to get out a little more. And as for the "in this amount of time" comment; this product has been rumored about for 3 years now! THAT'S not enough time?

I find this the most interesting part of your post. You talk about how little the rc market is and how small CC is and then complain they don't perform like you want. What do you expect from small companies in such a niche market making toys for us to play with in our spare time.

It's not that you have a complaint it's the fact of so many creating threads to do nothing but rant. This type of behavior doesn't do anything for anyone.

The reason so many of us love this forum and keep coming is the fact that here we keep the ranting down to nil. There are plenty of other forums that support these type posts so why not just go there? We at rcm like to discuss our problems like gentlemen and work things out.

The truth is CC has done nothing horrible to you, there are plenty of companies out there that offer no information to the customer when these type issues come up.

As far as the people lauding MGM, do you actually own one? I have both and while the MGM is a nice controller, it is nothing compared to the MMM. Especially considering there is not a single ESC on the market that comes close to the MMM in price and/or features. Not to mention that nowhere do you see MGM offering support on a forum like CC does. I can also guarantee that MGM would take at least as long to repair and return to you as this has.

Wow! I cannot believe all the complaining and whining on this thread or the Castle section. Why are we all so patient because we know Castle makes an excellent product and will deliver. I am sorry that they have dissapointed some of your expectations for a timeline but you know what Sh*t happens and life sometimes throws you a suprise now and then and it isn't always good. At least Patrick is on here and updating us as often as he can. I don't know any other company president/owner that would do this. If you complainers are so concerned about not getting something for your money right away than please call or e-mail Castle to get your money back and shut the hell up. Sorry to be such a jerk but man this is getting old. Mike is such a nice guy and he offered us members a great deal by preordering the MMM's at almost cost and some of you guys cannot seem to be appreciative of it. Who cares if it has taken 3 months if you don't think it will be worth the wait then choose something else.

The thing about this thread that gets me is that my v2 shipped on 8-1-08 and this thread titled "But when will the MMM's REALLY ship out??" was started 5 days later. Numerous other people posted that they had received an email saying that their's had shipped on 8-2-08 so why was this thread even started unless it was just to cause trouble.

i was on castle's site the other day and read the 25th of this month is when they r supposed 2 release the monster again . hopefully, my hyperst pro has been waiting 4 a while now

[nl12]

I will be happy as long as it works as advertised, it gets here when it gets here.
