Ah well,
Again it's my fault. We were going to release a version of the Mamba Max with stacked power boards and a switching regulator --
But it was just going to be WAY too expensive. And the performance wasn't all that great either.
So, I scrapped that plan. Now, we are close to being ready to beta the new design. It's a lot less expensive, and should perform better than the stacked board Mamba Max.
I'm sorry that the development has taken soooo long... but I wanted to be sure that we released a really COOL product that works really well (and was affordable), and I wasn't satisfied with what we had.
To be honest with you all, I'd rather take some extra time to be sure we release a product that meets the expectations our customers have come to expect of Castle Creations.
Thanks for the update Joe. I just wish we could have been updated a little sooner. A little communication goes a long way and I think people are generally pretty accepting of the type of explaination you just listed. Hopefully people aren't too bent at the silence for so long. Either way, thanks for the update. I won't even ask about projected release date
