What does Tower's stock dates have to do with Castle's?

FYI -- motors 2200Kv motors are in route to us from our factory (air cargo, about five days to here.) 2650Kv motors will ship in about a week and a half.

One reason Towerhobbies and other places may have theirs pushed back is due to pre-orders. Sounds like it should not be long though.

Come on...

I have been holding off buying a mmm for 5 months. They kept on blowing up. So I'm still waiting. First it was mid october, then mid november... I think we will see them before christmas, but will be sold out before we can get a chance to buy... I'm waiting for jan or feb when everybody has stock and the beta testing is over... meanwhile... dual 700hos waterproof till spring... :-)

Sounds good. Can't wait to see them. I can wait to get one though. I'll probably grab a combo some time next year to finish my buggy with. I'm a bit pissed after recent events.

That's great to hear. I've been busting to get a hold of one of the 1515s!:party:

NICE!!! Happy to hear that! Thanks for the update.

I just hope my preorder gets filled before christmass. All my friends have their trucks up and running(I have fixed all theirs for them) and for the first time I am the one without a truck(MAN THIS STINKS but I bet it will be worth it)

Smashwings 11.14.2008 03:26 PM

Only for information, Tower H. updated date to Mid Dec.. :oh:
And I have backordered there, more waiting...

E-fanatic 11.14.2008 03:45 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :diablo: . Thats where I have backordered mine too. Its the unknown that killing me. Its getting the hopes up and then the date is moved back. I would be ok if I just had a definate answer when!!

BashemSmashem 11.14.2008 07:22 PM

LOL , I freakin knew it wasnt going too be released this month :diablo:!

BUMMER !

BTW , Horizon also pushed it back too early Dec .

Dagger Thrasher 11.14.2008 07:23 PM

Guys...did you miss Patrick's post? Tower's dates don't have much to do with Castle's.

E-fanatic 11.14.2008 11:53 PM

No but tower and horizon among other get there release info from some where b/c it kind of weird that they all have the same release date

MrMin 11.15.2008 03:34 PM

har har har...it's fun to read. tower has set the mmm combo to mid/end Dec... I can just see it late for christmas. A lot of back orders on tower will only be met somewhere in jan/feb. Thats reality guys - face it. I guess I will be happy with my dual 700ho and waterproof till spring and then buy this wonderful combo only in march/april when you all have beta tested it and sent it back etc... and fixed the bugs for me. Thank you guys.

I think Tower moved their date back because they have more backorders than they had on order with us (and they know how many MMM combos they are going to get in the first few shipments already....)

MrMin 11.16.2008 09:40 AM

Of course.. and traxxas brushless erevo will be ordering a few I guess. and all the other LHS's... Probably most of the mmm kinks are ironed out now (last few hair raising months). Lets see how the new motors hold up and what tuning needs to be done. Then it will be a mature product to buy. Anyway - there will be hoards buying it - so I'm waiting for the first real hands-on reviews. I guess we will be forced to buy new drivetrains eventually and so it goes on - be ready guys - lots of fun next year. :-)

That makes sense :great: . I am anxiously waiting. I just feel bad for the poor little e-revo after me and the mmm combo gets done with her :rofl:

MrMin 11.16.2008 04:46 PM

Got to hand it to CC. They really make a good impression on their customers. I cannot wait to get the MMM combo !!! grrrr... How frustrating!
