When does RC-Monster receive their Mamba Monsters?
 

Because I am sitting here reading about everyone getting their's from castle directly and wondering when is RC-Monster's first pre-order going to ship out???

The wait is killing me.....:cry::lol:

I hear ya. I certainly hope that his order gets delivered to him soon. I would hope that since Castle shipped out orders to consumers early that hopefully they don't screw over their retailers (and in turn, us that ordered from a retailer) by pushing them out a week or two.

me too im tired to wait and my maxx to:lol:

This seems to be what they are doing, but they should ship out today or tomorrow to wholesalers. The advantage of getting them through Mike is the better price.


Bad word is that Castle oversold them big time. More than half of the first production run were taken by their own web orders which get first priority. This means that none of the retailers will get what was ordered and many backorders might not be filled by the first run- every retailer will most likely have outstanding backorders including tower and horizon. Who is really going to get hurt is the LHS, they probably will have to wait three months to even get their hands on them unless Castle makes a huge run the next time.


If you are in the lower ranks of orders from Mike you should get your ESC soon, if you were in the tail end of the first orders Mike should know within two days where the cutoff was. Those that did not meet the cutoff will have to wait until the next production run.

Ouch. Bad Castle :whip:

I'm pretty sure I was quick to jump on the pre-order with Mike and should be in the top 10 in line with another retailer too.

I do certainly hope that Castle gets beat on a bit by the retailers so they don't screw them over again when the combo system is released.

Darkhelmet: " When will then be now? "

Col Sanders: " ...... soon. "

:party:

Ummm... Not really true. We ship in order that the orders were taken (or booked.) We started taking orders from dealers/ distributors on the same day as we started taking orders from end-users.

And yes, run #2 will be big enough to handle ALL of the backorders, plus about 100% more.

where i can know where i am in the list.....i order mine 04/25/2008

If you ordered direct from us, you can call and ask Christy when your MMM will ship.

Patrick

The question now is when will the 2nd run be happening?

ok..its not a easy thing to to:lol:im from canada ,quebec i think that im gonna wait anyway.....my old mm do the job... for now im standing front of my mail box:smile:

Thanks Patrick for the info. I have been waiting 2 years for this thing, what's a few more weeks if it comes to that?

Only about half of the first run has even shipped so far. Many are still waiting on packaging, testing, etc.

UPDATE: Just found out a large percentage of the remaining batch 1 Monsters are shipping today and tomorrow.

Second run will happen later this month, and will start shipping 1 week after production start, and continue shipping for 3-4 weeks as ESCs complete through production.


Patrick

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear that it's not too far off for a 2nd production run. That may even coincide well with the new E-Revo release. I have a feeling a lot will be sold for that vehicle.

Thanks Patrick, I am sure that the CC staff is doing all they can to get the MMM out to us! I can't wait to try this bad boy out!

Thanks for keeping us updated Patrick

Then I need to talk to you, I have sent you an email.

JRH

JRH -- Did you send it to me direct? I didn't get an email from you...

Patrick

is the second run going to have plugs on the controler?

aarrgghh if i completely understand i will receive my esc a the and of the summer:surprised:i hope not,,,

i still waiting,,,,:cry:

Second run will have the SMT connectors (6.5mm)

JRH, got your email - sent reply.

e-mike -- Nahhh, it won't take nearly that long. We should have backorders clear and in a stock position by mid June.

Patrick

tanks for the info:rofl: mid june it not so far...6.5mm plug hooo yeeeess:smile:

Can you tell us why the monsters aren't coming with bullet connectors at all. I received a monster with no bullets. You said in the forums that they would come with them so I didn't order any.

F7Rider --

Some of the early Monsters were inadvertently sent without connectors (sorry! we screwed up!) If you didn't get connectors, just contact Christy and let her know, we'll send a set out to you.

Sorry!

Patrick

I know they are as well, and the wait will totally be worth it. Castle is really doing the best that they can, I was just misinformed about the first run volume and timing of the second. Having Patrick around on the forum is very nice, it is like a big brother for hardware knowledge :smile:

lol..not so fast castle:lol:i want a esc in the box when i receive it:smile:

nobody receive mmm from pre-order to mike?

Oh, that explains it. Great customer service for still providing them and being on forums advising others :party:

Mike still hasn't received his lot (as far as I know)

I pre ordered from RC-Monster and I got an email at 8:48am cst saying its been shipped by usps and I ordered 36hrs after the first pre order was announced

Just got back from a run with the mmm and all I have to say is WOW. This esc is awesome. With a e-revo with 8xl and 4s 6000 I have to turn the punch down to 40% just to make it controllable and it will still wheelie at around 30 mph.

Ooh, stop teasing :whip:

I haven't gotten an e-mail yet and I ordered 2hrs after the pre-sale started. Bummer. I ordered the 25th and when I check my order on the RCM homepage, it says I ordered the 28th, but I got a confirmation e-mail on the 25th. Weird....:tongue:

Bye:wink:

My credit card has been charged by RCM. I thought that it would not be charged until shipment. :oops:

Not sure what's up with that. I ordered less than an hour after he announced the first pre-order and have no info. I find it strange that you're the only one that has gotten an e-mail from the pre-order.

I'm not the only one. Check this post: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...t=11870&page=9

I'm pretty sure those guys ordered it from Castle directly, not from Mike.

I should have the first part of the first batch of pre-orders by Monday or Tuesday - only then will the pre-order shipping begin. Anyone who received a shipping email likely has placed another order via the site and received shipping info for that. The controllers are on the way to me guys - they just aren't here yet! :)

Thanks for the update Mike!

Thanks for the update:yipi:

Thanks for the update Mike.. So there is still hope of receiving mine next week... :yipi:

Have a great weekend..:yes:
