Is the 14th really the preorder date?
 
Where do you guys think the best place to get your hands on one is? Right here at rc-monster? Lets see what the vote is.

jhautz 04.07.2008 08:41 PM

Right here at RCM is where I will get mine.

jnev 04.08.2008 12:40 AM

Yep, RCM is where its at!!

blueb8llz 04.08.2008 01:03 AM

where do you pre order at? i havent heard no such thing.

DRIFT_BUGGY 04.08.2008 01:26 AM

No preorders yet

joeling 04.08.2008 02:37 AM

Hi guys,

I'm just as excited as u guys. In fact, i have just emailed Mike asking him to quote me a price on the MMM so that I can pay him & be in the waiting list.

Maybe u guys should too so that Mike can build u an order & wrestle some of the first batch of production units from CC.

Regards,
Joe Ling

Let us know what mike says.

Happywing 04.08.2008 07:22 AM

No favorites here. I'm going for "first available" wherever that may be. If it's Mike, that's fine. If not, he has plenty of my money.

DrKnow65 04.08.2008 07:27 AM

I'll most likley be getting mine from Mike, I've got to pick up a motor mount and a fiegao for my hyper 7 anyhow.

Besides I love the forum, and I have yet to get anything from RCM to support it.

E-Revonut 04.08.2008 07:31 AM

no offense to anyone, but if you want to be first to get one it only makes sense to pre-order with CC if they offer it! I did that to get my 5mm shaft from Novak and I got it before anyone realized it was available. Their website was still showing pre-order only still for about a week after I got mine! So unless RCM is going to get them before they're released to the public I think direectly from CC is the best bet!

Arct1k 04.08.2008 08:11 AM

But then your are not supporting the site.... :)

83gt 04.08.2008 08:48 AM

Personally, I don't mind waiting for a few of you guys to guinea pig this first :). By the time I'm convinced, and ready to buy, getting from rc-monster shouldn't be a problem. I really don't like to be the first to have something new, especially when the something new is going to set me back 300ish, and may have some first run bugs to be sorted out.

E-Revonut 04.08.2008 09:03 AM

just placed an order here last night and I don't want to harm this great site by telling anyone to go elsewhere. I just think that if u want one asap CC is ur best bet, that's all I was saying

Howz that sound? We will be offering a pre-sale special, but the details have not yet been finalized yet.

There's your info on the pre-order, and if you go to post number 484 on the "MMM Availability Date Dropped" thread, you'll see the reference to the April 14th date. Granted, it does say "around" and not "exactly" when refering to that date. :oops:

tha5150 04.08.2008 04:32 PM

i just emailed joeford@castlecreations.com ... not sure if thats how i get on the pre-order list, knowing there isnt one yet.

how is everyone else thinking they will get info on this??

RBMike 04.08.2008 04:42 PM

Joe told me he would put me on a list of people to notify when the pre-order happens.

tha5150 04.08.2008 04:47 PM

another question, i wonder what time they will send the ((( its ready, click here to buy ))) email. morning, afternoon, 12am. ???

how did joe tell you that? email? did you email him?

RBMike 04.08.2008 04:50 PM

I e-mailed him & asked how I pre-order it & he replyed back "We're not accepting them at this time, but I'll put you on the list.
When we begin accepting them I'll shoot you an email."

Ditto for me - almost word for word.

jtracker 04.08.2008 05:17 PM

:lol: Sorry guys! Joe gave me the idea so I ran with it. Hope you all aren't too mad at me! I sure wish I would have won one! Was pretty funny though don't you think? :rofl::rofl:

Actually the first word that came to my mind when I found out it was a hoax was "misrepresentation" - not "fun" or "funny". I will say it does make it a little more palatable knowing Joe was in on it.

BrianG 04.08.2008 05:34 PM

I think jt needs a whack and a whipping for this "infraction":

:slap:

JTracker:whip:

...Now the healing can begin

team3six 04.08.2008 09:12 PM

Ummm, I'm gonna have to go with that was not funny! but since it is all in good fun!

My thinking also. I figured I would let some of the bright guys on this forum disect it first. It has got to be better than my MGM for me to jump in.

There might be a big song and dance about the MMM at RCX but if the MMM is ready to ship before then Castle will be shipping it. Enough people already know about the MMM there would be no point in holding it back.

True but i hope it comes out soon

SilentMonster 04.09.2008 01:27 AM

Jtracker is my Nephew and I was at the Toledo show also. The little joke was not done to be mean. I know it could be interpreted as such but we have been waiting for this thing just as long as any of you. No ill intent meant.

Joe is one really cool guy. It was real nice to talk to him.

I hope Joe doesn't care if I say this, but the Mamba Monster is finalized and ready but the mold for the case was inadvertently dropped and broken. So that is what they are currently waiting on. At least that was the impression I got from Joe.

As far as the size, I thought the foot print wasn't too bad. I wish I would have measured it. The fan makes it kinda tall and the caps are higher than the heat sink.

I really liked the 6.5mm board mounted connectors.

There was talk about a broken mold a while ago. That was a long time before the recent pictures of the case though.

Oh OK, if that is old news then I would say that they could be behind on the production of cases, being there is apparently only one mold. Could take awhile to build up some stock. Just throwing that out there. I know very little about the process and how long it takes to make one case.

I know what we are all thinking.........send us some without the case.:wink:
