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.

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?)
