But when will the MMM's REALLY ship out?? - RC-Monster Forums

mk351e · **But when will the MMM's REALLY ship out?? -** 08.06.2008, 01:38 AM

Well, I've been a little rough on CC in recent times on this forum, and mainly because I paid for something months ago, and have nothing to show for it. Just like everyone else. However, since then, I've changed my mind, and decided that despite my tremendous disappointment, it's a worse situation for them than it is for me. I think. I never posted an apology, so consider it done now.

So, like all of us, I was VERY excited to hear that the MMM's will ship out early this week, and I expected to be driving my truck for the first time this weekend. So I called CC today just to make sure it would ship in time, because if not, I'd pay extra for faster shipping - I couldn't possibly miss this weekend.

But then it happened. They tell me at CC that only a few have been shipped to beta testers ONLY, and they HOPE to ship out NEXT week, as they're making them now! WTF?!?!? Isn't Patrick like the president or something? WTF? When is it shipping? Where is it? Why does he say one thing, and 2 people at castle say something completely different? And why do some on here claim to have received theirs back already?? I just don't get it; but what I DO get is my patience is wearing EXTREMELY thin here. I just want to know when it's coming like all of us do. I understand this whole thing sucks for castle BIG TIME, but WTF?? This week, next week, Christmas, 2010, WHEN? And why lie about it? Who is lying or supplying false information anyway?

I predicted months ago that my whole summer would go by, and I would not be doing any RC driving, and my prediction is, unfortunately, coming true. And I am FULLY aware of the fact that this is a hobby, and these are toys, and we look like idiots playing with remote control cars, that's just it. I spend stupid amount of money on this crap because I WANT to, not because I NEED to, so when I pay for something that I WANT, I WANT it. So let's not bring up that topic here.

Patrick? Shed a little light for us? Or Christy? Or the receptionist? Or ANYONE WITH AN ACCURATE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mk351e: I feel your pain...... my summer is also over. I just dont have the energy to write what you just did. I understand your pain though..... I have allot of understanding that the situation is really frustrating for both the costumers and the manufacturer, that is why i hope that Pdelcasts prediction that the MMM will ship out this week is becoming a reality..... somehow i doubt it. I think some of the repaired ones will se their waiting costumers but i think that we that has made pre-orders (3 mounths ago) will have to wait atleast one week or two untill we get our email that says that our MMM has been shipped..... When i first read that the MMM will ship out this week i thought: no way.... dont get your hopes up orgfre....

I really hope that i am wrong.....

I'm also waiting for 2. Worse, i was too lazy to send my broken one in so I guess by the time I do, I will be waiting some more. The only consolation is that I live in the tropics - no winter to worry about. Then again, come October, the rain will come with a vengeance.

Lucky for the Aussie boys, summer will arrive just in time to them to test their MMMs.

Regards,
Joe Ling

Pfft winter isn't bad enough to stop us from playing with our cars. It might stop us feeling our fingers though.

i know of a least two people that got there version 2 back already...i wonder what the real deal is?

08.06.2008, 08:58 AM

This thing has been shipping "Next week" for about the last 3 years...it doesn't matter what anyone says. The only thing that matters is what's in your truck/car. Since I don't have one yet, it's still vaporware to me.

There is some light, several folks here have rec'd their v2 MMM's after mailing in their old v1's. I figure they may be shipping new retail units in before the end of August.

2008...that is although given the Castle Fudge Factor that is +/- 2 years.

GT35R · 08.06.2008, 09:12 AM

But if they've all been made already (2000 of them), why won't they ship them ASAP?
I'm guessing the resellers just updated the ETA to 'end of august' because of the unreliable estimates they were previously given.
Well, thats what I'm hoping anyway. Time for Mr CC to post again...

So if we ordered ours from RCMONSTER in may during the pre-order does anyone know when we will be getting them? Does Castle have to ship to them and then them to us?

That's a good question! I also preordered mine from mike and am wondering if Mike will get his shipment first, or does castle fill all of thier orders first, and then ship out mikes.

I believe it was stated at the first release that Castle will fill their direct orders (and repairs) first. Then it will ship out to merchants (probably based on volume commitments). The thing I am currious about is that Patrick said that there were enough made to fill every outstanding order (including to merchants) and that they would be shipped out this week. Why did Castle customer service say something different?

GT35R · 08.06.2008, 12:10 PM

Well I got impatient because its my day off tomorrow so I just went to the garage and China powered my E-maxx on 6s with some gear I was going to sell.
Works nice except the prop brake makes it do a front flip.

C'mon CC I'm getting desperate!

08.06.2008, 03:23 PM

I have a feeling that the split second that retail shipments resume, Castle will post that good news. The lack of any such posting suggests to me that they have not finished making them or getting the boxes or some such thing.

hemiblas · 03:46 PM

Who needs boxes?? I'll take mine any way I can get it.

I think I have that same controller from china GT35R. So is it holding up ok in the emaxx? I was going to use it in a FE boat build with no water cooling and was wondering how it performs on 6S.
