MMM availibility date dropped! - RC-Monster Forums

Well, since most of us folk live in the US, dealing with Castle is far easier than dealing with MGM.

Besides, even tho the MGM are nice controllers, I don't think the MMM will have the funky reverse issues that the MGMs do. I know it's not a big deal, but that plus a lower price make the deal for me.

I have actually been put off MGM due to the many issues people have with them. They appear to be difficult to program, and the weird brake to reverse issue makes me wonder. I will buy a MMM and give it a try. I have been happy with CC other products.

Even though it has taken some time to get this product out to us you can bet that there will still be some issues to deal with

. I am shocked that they are not using the BETA guys to start testing these controllers before putting them on the shelves for us to spend our hard earned money on. I hope like most of us that it is a great product, but how often does that happen right out of the gate? It will more than likely be a great unit, but it will still have some growing pains to go through. That is just the nature of the business.

Not sure exactly what you are basing this on? If it's because you haven't heard of any beta happening doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

Remember the rules of NDA testing: Those who actually do it, can't talk about it. Those who talk about it, generally don't do it.

It's true, there won't be any beta testing for the MMM. There wasn't any for the Sidewinder or CCBEC, either.

Ok!

I use mech brake on my MGM 9032 and it works well. Its a great controller, but they really need to do some more work on the software to get the brake/rev tweaked. Last time I talked to them they were working on some new firmware, but cars are only a small part of their business, so it doesn't get as much attention. One thing also is they are really well built controllers. My MM seems cheap in comparison, OTOH it is :)

It would be nice to see how the MMM does. I'm all settled on my setup, but it will be great to see a real 1/8th scale package hit the market. Hopefully it will end all that silly Vtwin crap. Hopefully factory 1/8th scale electrics follow soon.

Ummm...DEAD WRONG. We beta tested all of those products and have testers for the MMM as well.

How about public beta testing (that's what I was referring to)? The only person on this forum who is not completely affiliated with CC who tested these products was JRH, and there are a number of other members including myself who have been signed up as beta testers for TWO years now. But if you don't mind me asking, who all outside of CC is lucky enough to test the MMM?
(I realize CC is a private company, and can do as they please, but still: what's the point of even having a public beta program listed on the CC webpage if applying for it won't make a difference?)

My MGMs (both of them) don't have any reverse issues??????? I have heard about them...but mine don't have them. Course I probably just jinxed myself.
