But when will the MMM's REALLY ship out??

[wade7575]

I'm not to happy with the shipping out stuff and date's as well,I think what's got me Mad is that Patrick said in the first post on th Batch 2 thread on this site he sai this.Starts shipping early next week.I'm so glad....
But he never did say if that ment repair's or if that ment shipping order's and to Hobby Shop's.
I'm not going to get really worked up over this but I was not to happy when I called Christy and asked her if she new when but wold not give me a straight answer so who really knows olny castle I guess.
I do think if Patrick said they were shipping early next week,and that would have made it at the start or early this week they should have started shipping and if something has happened tell us if that will still be the case rather than building hopes then when people try to get an answer they say nothing.

I will agree that it seems as though there isn't the best communication at Castle, internally, but it has been posted many many times that the people with defective V1s would get priority, then would be preorders, and last would be people with working V1s that wanted to upgrade to the V2. I remember when the problems first started showing up with the MMMs it seemed everyone you talked to had a different story. If that's the complaint I guess it isn't unfounded but it seems to be a little late (about 4 months).The problems with the contoller seem to be resolved and I haven't heard of a single failure of the V2. I personally have 7 packs through mine without even a hiccup. Everyday a few people post that they have gotten an email stating that their's was shipped. So, I really don't understand why people are waiting until now to start complaining. Is it just me or does it seem like some just like drama?

wow, this just keeps getting dumber and dumber, and taken further out of context! Do you all work for CC?? Or perhaps I'm speaking a different languauge than everyone else here? I don't know. WOW.

I had a broken V1, so I should have 1st priority, right? OK, so with that out of the way, why would you go and post on a forum stating that your gonna start shipping controllers to people on a certain day, then when I call for something else, I'm told no way, we start NEXT week. Which is it? And what are they shipping now, one a day? Why is a timeline so difficult?? "Sometime next week" should be CC's company motto, they sure do use it enough.

And to the A hole making the high roller comment, had you read my post, you'd see that I said I was prepared to do so, but mgm is on vaca until 8/15, so I'm screwed either way. Unlike the rest of us here, I am NOT forever grateful to CC, nor do I feel that they are the gods of rc. I don't care about them on ANY level. I bought the MMM because everyone here said it was going to be the best thing since sliced bread, and the price was great too. My project originally had a budget of $400 for a controller, but I'm not a high roller, nor did I ever claim to be at any point.

This thread has now reached the lowest level possible were we have resorted to insults. It is now useless and should probably be deleted. This was not my intent.

You DO have first priority and your ESC will be shipped before the preorders and v1 upgrades. The rest is what I was talking about when I said that there was an internal communication problem. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing and vise versa. That I could see as a legitamate complaint but the fact is that Patrick said on 7-30 that they would ship next week and mine shipped on 8-1 that's 2 days later. That's actually sooner than he predicted. Maybe when you called the person you talked to was talking about the preorders shipping next week not replacements for defective ESCs.

thanx jerry, someone FINALLY gets my point! And I'm glad you got yours, but, uh, where's mine? Are they shipping one a day here? According to CC, only 70 or so were broke out of 500 or so initaially shipped. I never really did buy that, but whatever, there's only one I'm concerned with.

However, I DID tell christy mine was a defective v1, and she said the ONLY MMM's that had gone out were the 6 or 7 beta's. THAT'S why I'm pissed, THAT'S why I'm scratching my head, and THAT was the reason for this rant of a thread. THAT is how it all started.

I too was soooooooooooo happy when patrick said they were to start shipping early this week. That meant that as long as they sent mine out via ups ground by tuesday, I'd have mine in time for the weekend. When tuesday rolled by with no email, I called to see when mine might go out, because I was willing to pay extra to overnight the damn thing at this point just to have it for the weekend. that's when the receptionist told me the news, and transferred me to christy, and she told me the news again.

erevonut: you are right, and I know that. however, I can't help but get my panties in a bunch; i mean, seriously, look at this fruity little hobby. seriously. but it is fun, and I am getting sick of my BL micro t. but thanks for the kind words dude.

If it makes you feel any better I havent gotten a shipment notice from them on my replacement V1 yet either. Still waiting. Of course I am still up and running on the backup V1 MMM I bought so its makes the waiting easier.
