I wonder when we'll be getting notification from Mike that he's shipping to us? Or for that matter, when Mike will get his first batch?

I got mine as well :yipi:. Was the first thing you did this morning drift is get up and check your e-mail. If you did that's pretty sad, cause I didn't do that :whistle:.

Did you order by Express?

Yep. Far too impatient to wait for the normal mail. Funny thing is that regular mail can be just as fast as express mail to Australia but it can also sometimes take 6 weeks. I wasn't going to risk it with the MMM.

lol, yeah but another thing is that I live in Central QLD and I can order something by regular mail from Brisbane (500km away) and order something from America by Express or sometimes Priority Mail from America and the America parcel will get here before the Brisbane parcel :oops:

I just got home from the land of Castle. I got to see behind the curtain... where the wizard lives and where the magic happens. I saw boxes full of Monsters... hundreds of them... :intello:

I got mine too. :yipi:

The other day when I called Castle, I asked them if I could stop by for a tour and they said that Thursday or Friday after ~3pm is the best time - just to call ahead. Maybe I can purchase a MMM direct. :smile:

i just got an email saying mine has shipped, i can't wait to drop it in and go

my credit card account is cut today and cc mail came and said "shipped to you" .... waiting.... waiting.... waiting....

Impakt RC has them in stock

I think they mean the pre-orders are in stock not the actual ESCs.

From the "When does RC-Monster receive their Mamba Monsters? " thread:

MONSTERS!!!!

and more monsters, lol

and caste becs....

Spy photos.... barely escaped with the men in black in hot pursuit!!!!

On a serious note, it sounded to me like all these Monsters are already spoken for, and any new direct orders may have to wait until the next batch. I could be wrong, but that's the impression I got... and I didn't bug them much about that or when the next production run is scheduled.

I did get to see some Mamba Max production happening... the pick and pluck machine is badd-azzz :)

I think Bernie's little photo tour really gave a good idea of what Castle is like. It's almost like I had been there before, LOL

That's awesome GD - nice!!!

GD can you upload the photo's please to RCM rather than linking - I can get the non rcm sites...

Oh... what Bernie didn't show us is how many poor Emaxxs have been killed by the Castle guys. They have a little graveyard of broken cars ha ha ha

Thanks GD! That;s a lot of inventory that will be sold very soon :)

Well CC can have my Revo in exchange for a couple of MMM if they need something to kill...

EEK.... I hope my distributer has mine safe....

"We're currently out of stock! Orders will ship in approximately 4 weeks."

Hey, one of them Monsters has my name on it! :lol: They charged my card today, hope to get shipping notice soon; I can't wait!

That is alot of monsters, lol

i just hope no one tries to break in... that would be a monsterous disaster! :lol:

I can only imagine how they must be scrambling to get all of those out the door. I wonder what that box is worth:gasp:

Glass, great photos...thanks.

Nice pics!
Patrick - you guys need to hire me to come teach you single piece flow manufacturing, and apply some lean principles to your factory. Looks to me like major batch manufacturing.....

Do we have another Six Sigma master here :lol:.

You guys are starting to bring back headaches! :lol:

Not sure, you can go through checkout but on items that don't have in stock, you can't go through checkout

Patrick - It would be great to have a small sheet of Castle Creations/Monster Max decals in each box :) I know we've been bugging you about that since the Mamba Max but hey! It's cause we want every nitro guy we pass to know who makes the best ESCs!

-Jeff

That would be sweet, is there even CC stickers available?

right on
 

Yeh that would be cool to have some stickers to put on the trucks and it would be great advertising for CC. It is a win win suggestion that would be pretty cheap for you to do Patrick.

great idea! or at least offer them (a sheet) for sale seperately. i know id buy a sheet for $2-5!
awesome idea if you ask me... also, why is it, every other industry GIVES you stickers galore, but the RC industry makes you PAY for most stickers... it seems crazy, ive never seen free sticker sheets in my LHS either come to think of it!

Funny you guys should mention that... I've been working on getting stickers made.

Basic cost for a small sheet is in the $.50-1.00 range per sheet, from what I have found.

Some of those zig zag mamba snake emblems in sticker form would look rather nice!

I would pay for sticker too.

Nope - we follow the "other" system - we've adopted the same system Toyota uses.

would that be "Kaizen"
