MMM availibility date dropped! - Page 21 - RC-Monster Forums

I did say a while back that the earliest we should expect anything was mid-april and that was if things went as planned. They admitted that the motors were not done and they didn't have the boards yet.

This pretty much nails the "wait till after the 25% off sale" theory, LOL

I'll give them until the end of April before giving them another wedgie...

Every time this thread is updated, I get my hopes up, only to have them dashed again.

Why is all this news taking place on forums other than this one? There are 21 pages of ideal, target market customers here. Anyway this latest news is awful. I'm sure like many folks right about now I take my RC goodies out from their winter slumber and get them all ready for the upcoming racing season. In years past my local track starts racing in April and I had hoped to have MMM enabled vehicles ready by then. Once I have something in my truck I'll run it till the smoke gets out I'm sure lots of folks are the same way. If the MMM is delayed, it will lessen the impact it can have, lower sales, shame.

I my self am really really upset as well. Money in hand ready to drop on the system and still I wait, and wait, and wait. I had talked personally in the past months to Joe and Bernie and had no problem finding out the info about the MMM in conversation. Joe was even kind enough to come on here and speak to everyone about this release and dynamics. But once again here we are even after appreciation was sent to the guys for thier efforts. Waiting for the World Premier release of something that will only be made available when they want to release it. Now I cant say all bad things about Castle, But I gotta kinda believe that 50% of the hold back limit is true, Including when I have emailed them 3 times about this with no responce and I can not get through with a phone call.

What gets me is they are intentionaly holding back for a trade show when just about everyone whom this is geared for is either on here on RC Monster, or on Nitrokillers. Im sorry Joe and gang, but us faithfull Castle guys are getting tierd of the lies and put off dates just so you can show off your work at a trade show that you cant even buy it at!

If anything us guys who have been waiting in the dark putting up with this should get something for our patience.

I can't believe they would delay it further at this point, just to have it at a trade show first.

That would make sense if it were a surprise product... or something that was ahead of schedule. But there's no way they continue the pain for their customer base... intentionally.

Dagger Thrasher · 03.15.2008, 11:22 AM

Man, this is just ridiculous. I don't believe for a second that it's deliberate... but what Castle need to do is stop giving us "hopefully" dates and give us a solid, definite, worst-case-scenario-will-be-out-by-then date. I just don't know what else to say.

well, that sucks

....BUT I'M STILL GOING TO BUY ONE!!!!

E-Revonut · 03.15.2008, 03:04 PM

Last week my lhs was asking me about my Novak HV setup because they want to have something to offer people until the MMM comes out, which the owner heard might not be until August! :-(

captain harlock · 03.15.2008, 04:17 PM

Nay, six weeks is MUCH better than six years.

suicideneil · 03.15.2008, 05:20 PM

Boned. Oh well, at least I can continue putting pennies into a jar to pay for it, rather than sucking my bank account dry....

ssspconcepts · 03.15.2008, 09:42 PM

Well, I am going to buy another MGM. I know some have had problems with them but I can't say that I have...so it is MGM for me.

glassdoctor · 03.15.2008, 11:06 PM

Well, if anyone else is going to bail and get something else, I do have a 125B for sale. I ran it only once: last summer one day when BrianG was at the track. I should have just left it in the box.

Me too. I keep waiting to see a post. "It is out!"

I moved on long ago. I got tired of waiting. Now I am going to read ya'lls reviews and posts about it first. I might get one next year some time.

So who's got the flame emotocon? just a post of flames across the bottom would be expected about now...
