I dont think I even wanna ask....

Good idea...

Nope!:whistle:

Can I lick 'em once before I put 'em in the package? Gotta make sure they are tasty!

Will you be offering the castle neu at a discounted rate (say difference between esc alone and combo) to the ones who pre-ordered the mmm esc? I have a v1 still going strong but I would love to have the combo. I plan on sending the esc back once you've started getting them in stock to distributors. So if you want you can send both and save the shipping:lol:

way to kick me in the teeth :oh:, I got the email too with a delivery conf. # from Rachel. Monsters the only thing pending from you

Probably won't have any early discounts -- we aren't making much on the motor at all (expensive product to build -- even in China.)

It's possible repairs got some new product done today -- but I'm not sure. I was heads-down working in engineering most of the day. Fridays are down days for production, but we had some people in today (we work 4 x 10 hour days in production.)

What I do know -- most of the Monsters are queued up right now for soldering (RX connector, switch, etc.)

cool man, no worries, enjoy your weekend. If you have time drop us a line here when you go back to the grind and let us know. :wink:

Are you still at work? You are a workaholic sir, and getting loopy from staring at a computer screen.

lol, since I don't have a MMM awaiting repair, sure! Besides, you gotta "test" them first.

If someone from CC reads this thread do you have any idea when the V.2 will be shipping to the U.K.?

I'm guessing I'll have to look elsewhere, if you can't be bothered to answer then I can't be bothered to buy from them.

If they don't respond here (pretty busy, so Patrick's posts seem to be in spurts), you could always try emailing them. Might be quicker.

I was one of the first repairs in. I believe number 6 or so according to Thomas. I also checked the tracking again and it says the package left Kansas.

Maybe it was a surprise from your humble subjects to the King? :mdr:

Maybe they all are going to hit you up for raises on Monday? :rules:

:lol: Thats what I was thinking, While Patrick was "heads down working in engineering Friday" (playing golf) j/k. The eager beavers got ahead hoping for a summer Monsters done bash.


Your item was processed and left our KANSAS CITY, MO 64121 facility on August 1, 2008. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

I was going by the fact that he had time to answer a post about lollipops but not a serious question:whistle:

Perhaps you should have been more specific. Did you mean your failed Monster or in stores in general ? He said all V1s that need replacing come 1st. If you had a V1 fail and live in the UK you will be getting it when we do plus your additional overseas shipping time Id assume. No stores have them yet in America and he didnt say when exactly they would have them because they arent ready yet, just that he had enough to fill all the orders and they are on the line for finishing now.

If I owned a business, I wouldn't want people with your attitude/patience level to buy from me anyways. :no:

Look at it this way, one extra Monster Max for someone else :lol:. I'll be waiting for everyone to be happy and do some runs though before I get one.

It's usually better as a new person on a forum not to come in straight off with attitude. This usually turns people off and thus never gets you far.

Patrick HAS stated that this run will include all repair MMM's plus all MMM's currently on order and then some. Don't know what more you could ask for.

Maybe you dont know Patrick all that well...He might be throwing this kind of comments but he just wants to reply to other guys joke and for fun. I have been proven wrong from time and time again about Patrick like you just did but now I know him better. :yes:

+1 to jayjay, this hasnt been out on any store in US I doubt it will be on any LHS outside US. If you have a failed V1 and you have it sent to CC then you will be getting yours..If you pre-order like me then we need to wait.

Yep indeedy. Castle will be sending them out in the order that they were ordered, once all replacements for dead V1 MMMs have been covered (in order too). If you ordered from the UK via castle, you will have to wait in line like everyone else; not like you will get served first or last, just because you're from overseas is it?

Common sense will prevail...

Actually, they aren't replacing them in order. Not to single anyone out but my Monster was already at Castle for repair the day before TexasSP's failed and he has received an email saying his was on the way back to him but I got nothing. Also, I'm pretty sure DickyT would have posted if he had gotten an email about his replacement shipping and iirc his was the very first failure.

One of the irritations is that the testers went out to random people. I also think those should have gone out to the people that had the failures and in order.

I know jerry's did fail before mine and agree that dickyt would surely have been posting had he gotten an email.

Unless CC just decided to send me some free stuff because I am such a cool guy, the only thing I could be getting from them is the MMM. Of course mon-tues should tell for sure.

Alright, ignore that then. 2nd point remains though- just because a person may have ordered from overseas doesnt mean they will have to wait longer I would have thought. You'll be seen to as the escs become ready to ship.. in random fashion maybe...

Where I can pre-order/order MMM and Neu 2200Kv motor combo, If I am from Finland ? Horizonhobby and some other shopping places are US-only sites.

Tower hobbies ships international I believe. I know for a fact Stormer Hobbies does as well.

Towerhobbies and BPP has the combo for pre-order

Ok. I don't trust BPP, but I think that towerhobbies best international place to buy it. I have been order Mamba Max from BPP, but it taked 2 weeks to get in in Finland.

Yea, they do... got my E-Revo there... the shipping isn't the cheapest though, but it never is when shipping overseas.

2 weeks is pretty normal shipping time for USA to Europe- I experienced quicker, and slower..

Is that CC Neu 1515 2200Kv motor good ? I think its a same quality motor like original Neu.

We have no idea...

I fear that your missing the point, I originally asked what I felt was a reasonable question. The gentleman from CC appeared to have had time to reply to a tongue in cheek post relating to lollipops but chose not to reply a genuine enquiry. To me that doesn't exactly show you've got your priority's in the right order.:no:

I wasn't asking for anything other than a likely time span for production to allow shipment of international orders. I felt this to be a reasonable question that only required a very brief answer, e.g. 4 - 6 - 8 weeks, whatever the approximate delay was expected to be.

Patrick is human and we all miss things. I usually just look under new posts and reply to anything I have knowledge on. Perhaps Patrick does the same, he may not have read through the whole thread and seen your question. On the other hand if your trying to contact him why not try doing it through CC website and leaving him an e-mail or try a PM on here rather than throwing out a question directed to one person in a forum. Try contacting directly. CC has been very informative in the past and I'm sure they'll answer your question if you ask THEM. I e-mailed a question to them and had a direct answer within 12 hours. Don't rant and rave cause your question was answered unless you go to the source. CC is a great company and I think just about everyone on here has at least one of their products and anyone that has dealt with their customer service has been happy.

Fair point, I assumed (wrongly) that as this was a support forum for the company and that they posted on here my question would have been picked up, I'll try the direct approach.

I think TexasSP answered your question. Enough MMM's are being produced to fill current orders. If you have ordered or the store you have ordered from has placed an order from castle it will be filled and shipped when ready. Which as has been stated will not be too long. Patrick can not give an exact answer as there are a lot of other factors which could be involved with your order that could slow it down like middle men postage system etc.

On to lighter stuff though. I dreamt that I got the e-mail saying my MMM had been shipped last night. Is that sad or is that just normal for people on here. :lol:

Yea dreams do come true in our case:whistle:

It hasn't come true for me yet. Fingers crossed I'll have my e-mail tomorrow morning. I would be cheering too if the sidewinder I ordered months ago turned up today (delay due to the store it was ordered from).
