Commercial reality guys but this is a real slap in Mike's and other distributers face

Where do you think the money comes from to host this site... Was two weeks wait worth it?

http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...481#post163481

Re any comments about postage etc - Have you emailed Mike? International postage is no different from Kansas or NY? I'm sure Mike is not interested in making money from postage...

PS

I do have integrity to outright say I have another distributer that has also provided me great service in the past that I have place my order for a MMM with. Again for respect for Mike and RCM I'm not saying where and do not wish to take sales away from Mike.

My sentiment is that disintermediation and direct selling is great but as the consumer don't expect the middle man to survive and don't forget the services (great support and this site) that they provide.

Ring ring ring if you do call them up, no answer on the sales line, I'd guess they're being slammed right now.

I'm with you Chris. Plus we will get to see how the MMM performs. I will wait a bit before I buy one, as I am never fond of being a test subject...

I will get mine from mike! Gotta support him, he may kick me off this forum if I don't

Any idea on what Mike will be asking for the MMM/CC-Neu combo?

I'm not working till May 1st so I've got some time to wait on the combo... I'll be getting mine from Mike anyhow so no rushing here.


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...

Mike will get my money for 1 or 2 after the initial rush is over, I need 1 more for another project and 1 as a spare.

For me Getting in on the CC pre order is worth every day it saves me. I have been with out an off road RC over a month now and am going through withdrawl.

It is a shame that CC is not giving the distributors first dibs, would have been a nice touch.

Well, he'll get them sooner or later. The bottomline is that he'll get them. And I don't care if CC will send them to the customers or not, but I know I'll get mine when Mike is ready to get them...and thankfully, I'm in no rush, either.


The name is Alawi. You can call me Al.
Nice to meet you!

No surprise, but production has been pushed to the first part of May and shipping will be toward the end of May.
Not to mention the price I was quoted when I called was actually $180 - not $170. Anyone else have that experience?
