When for monster maxx?

I don't think anyone is jumping on Joe specifically. It's just that the MMM has been said to be "coming soon" for the last couple of years now and any email responses received are ambiguous at the least. People are just getting tired of waiting - especially when other companies (Traxxas) doesn't breathe a word and then, BAM, comes out with a totally new system out of the blue. A little marketing to boost anticipation is good, but it's starting to wear on not just a few people.

One bad thing about CC's marketing scheme is that people will have very high expectations thinking that since it took sooo long to create that it MUST be a kick @$$ ESC. Let's just hope that IS the case...

Couldn't have said it better myself. I must say my intention isn't to bash anyone, and this forum is excellent for it's level of maturity . . . however, I was hoping to point out in my post that Joe's comments could easily spark some responses in a negative way. Especially given the current climate of people on the MMM topic. If he (Joe) would like to clarify his thoughts, I'm sure everyone here would love to hear it.

you don't think anyone is jumping on joe (or castle in general)? i've read some pretty testy statements in this thread. maybe people have a different definition of 'jumping on' than i do.

i guess that's not really my point though - my point is that all we really have to fall back on is impatience, and it's not because we don't have other options. after all, we didn't put a deposit down on a MMM. i agree with most of the points made, but just thought i'd throw joe (and castle) a life boat. and to say that even it it takes them another year, i'll buy one if it's good.

Just to clarify my point. I wasn't referring to peoples' feelings about the status of the MMM or any comments relating to it. I am equally as frustrated with the whole situation.

I just noticed a couple of specific statements reacting to Joe's post like "...seems like a deliberate attempt to pour gasoline on a smoldering fire..." and "Not only is that statement potentially combative to your client base...", and I wanted to make sure that "seems like" and "potentially" didn't become any stronger as the thread grew.

For the record, I agree with both posts that it does seem like Joe could have worded his post more clearly, and that it seemed potentially inciteful.

I'm honestly weary of talking about the MMM. I'm just going to try and forget about it until it arrives ... whenever that happens to be.

Well said. Especially the weary part.
