"On Monday, about 9:00am, UPS will deliver a pair of MMM stencils. A stencil (in the electronics world) is a large piece of nickel plated stainless steel, about .006" thick, stretched tight into a 29" x 29" tubular aluminum frame. The thin sheet of stainless has apertures cut out of it with a laser, and is used for putting solder onto a circuit board. The solder is printed onto the circuit board using a machine called a "stencil printer." Our stencil printer is a Dek Horizon printer. You can click on the link below to get more information about the Dek Horizon stencil printer:"

Considering last monday Joe said that they were getting a shipment of stencils from ups at 9am and they would be going into full production and now over a week later joe has not been heard from, well seems strange to me, the guy was very excited sounding and was updating us almost dailey and then he just went silent.

Probably becuase he is very busy or on a business trip.

Then he would had been able to update us because the hotel he is staying with have a working internet connection :lol:.

Sometimes this place is worse than an old ladies' sowing circle!

These guys do have jobs you know. I think they have done a pretty dang good job of communicating with us. Relax, breath and they will get them done.

And that job is to get the MMM V2 in our hands as soon as possible :na:.

Bad news would be better than no news. Castle made me believe that these were going to be shipping by now...are they? If not when?

Impakt has pushed back its MMM ETA to late/mid August. There's some bad news for you :sleep:

Yeah their job was to provide something they commit they can give...and also to give some sort of news when delay is expected. The prob here is that a lot of people is expecting to use a good quality controller but to prob is they dont know when....instead on getting MGM, Tekin and ebay ESC they invested on CC....I get it for those who broken their MMM they are lucky in a way they get to be the first but how bout those who have pre-ordered they had a choice..if CC committed Aug or Sept 3-4 mos back then people would have gotten their money on other options...good thing for me the shop offered refund by themselve...oh well...just breathe, relax....good suggestion

BTW, i just noticed this thread and Sparky's thread for beta test has no photo...how come no one posted the famous thread reply? Maybe they dont have camera or i'm so blinded by the delay I missed the photo :rofl:

Just read this on RC-Tech...

I guess I won't have my Revo running for the RCM SoCal bash. :cry:

That's a very good observation. I know for sure that if I was given a MMM for beta test, the first thing I would do is to take pictures and then run the heck out of it.

I would like to know what is going on to. I paid for my controller back in may and its now been 2+ months.

umm try more like 3 months!! aah well, hopefully they will clear this mess up... with all that money mike could have invested in shares and made millions!

i havent been able to find my camera cord. turns out the dog dragged it into the basement and i just found it so heres the pics

First, Robo Market Place (not as good as RCM, Tower.. and Impakt but good service) jsut canceled my order. They are the ones who refunded me because it seems they've had multiple complains and they give up on CC. Heres the email.

"Jeff,

I just got off the phone with our distributor who said they don't expect to see the Mamba Monster until Mid-Sept.

With that being said we are going to go ahead and cancel the order for you and refund your paypal..

Sorry for this inconvenience..

Do you still want the RC Switch? If so we will cancel the order and you can place a new order for the RC Switch.

Hope this helps and have a great weekend!

Thank you

Second, Impakt RC just pulled their pre-order and responded that they did it because they dont know when the next batch is coming....

Third, we've only heard about the 2 guys with beta and that's it.....not no news...

For a household to loose phone and internet connect for a week would be normal but for a 11million dollar company to loose connection is crazy...unless area has been hit a major hurricane and flooding. I guess what I'm saying is that something might have happened to those stencil or it could be that they are already doing the mass production and everyone is soldering connectors that no one can answer the phone but I hope at least someone will tell us they delay....Its normal to have delay...even Mike gets delay, Tower got some delay but to tell everyone "in the next 2 weeks" after another 2 weeks and another...turns out to be 5 months well i dont know......I know that for a complicated process like they go thru it unavoidable to get setbacks and get delay but for a 5mos delay on other is bad for business....and CC is not the one taking the heat. Its the small companies that resell them...

Sorry for the rant 4months into waiting and 2 of my 4 orders had been cancelled because shopped decided to quit on CC....I guess I should have gotten the picture...

Ohhh I think the one who took the bet with Patrick....is gonna WIN....

I agree. I have had mine preordered for a very long time as well. I think I will give it a couple more days and if nothing or no word about it being released in the next week I am going to ask for a refund from Impakt as well. I can always pick one up once I hear for sure the v2 has no bugs.

It has been postponed and pushed back for a very very long time. Now it is finally upon us but there were issues with the first version. People got a taste of how the ESC is and now are waiting yet again. I can see why people are antsy about this myself included. Being like a old lady? No. Wanting something I paid for 5 months ago? Yes. Wanting to be updated on what the issue is when we were told they were going to be building them again over a week ago and shipping again? Hell yes.

I think Patrick and other CC employees would be better off not saying anything until they were in the mail to the customers. Broken promises are what irritates customers. Especially in this hobby. My .02
