Well, how much more official can you get than by reading the words of the president of Castle on this forum?

If he can't give you a firm absolute date, then NOBODY can.

So when you ask: "Why can't they give a date", it's simply because they CAN'T.

Well guys, this is what it looks like so far:


The Mamba Monster was not originally scheduled in April production, so we currently working the production of the Monster circuit boards into the schedule.

We are still waiting on cases from our plastics supplier (we only got a few cases (5 pcs) in for fit testing so far, those were approved and 2500 cases for our first production run were ordered.)

We are still waiting on final release of the "Quick Reference Guide." -- This is needed for specific information on the Monster that isn't covered in the "Drivers Ed" manual.

We are still waiting on stickers for the case. (Design for the stickers was late in completion -- they were ordered on April 3rd.)

Note that the ESC "only" version will have wires with bullets, and not just the SMT bullets like on the show version -- we decided that would be easier for the end-user as some motors come with pretty short wires.

So -- It is looking like we should be shipping before the end of April -- my personal target date is 25 April for first batch, but we still need a few things (like cases) to be delivered from suppliers.

Thanks!

Patrick


Oh, and BTW: Pricing will be $199.95 (list) and 170.95 (map) We don't believe in the same kind of stupid list and map pricing that other manufacturers use, like a $500.00 list with $150.00 map -- that just doesn't make sense.
