just sent my monster in and it should arrive in kansas sometime next week....luckily i ordered one from mike and I hope its from the 2nd batch...
but castle has always had great customer service and make top notch products and I'm sure these dying monsters are just part of the regular mass production mishaps that happen with just about any product that is mass produced...besides only one of my batteries are 5s the rest are 4s.....and i agree with you too dickyt i might end up running the CC BEC once i get this one back just to be on the safe side...
