When will RCM be shipping MMM's again?

[wade7575]

I was talking to Patrick last week and he told me that he would be breaking up the shippment's rather than make peole wait longer,Castle is not that big of a company and can not just make 2000 plus ESC'S overnight or week.

It's the hand work that takes some time. They run all the boards thru loading and solder of all the components in just a short time (at least we did at our SMT shop). Then they have to hand solder all the connections & big caps maybe some other things, coat the boards & allow that to cure, then mechanical assembly, fans, case, sticker, packaging, etc. Somewhere in there is inspection & electrical testing, possibly even burn-in time. The place (CC) is not that big & it's not like they have a 100 people in there doing all this stuff so it's no surpise that they might only come out at the rate of couple hundred a week or so. All the while they are also building all the other product that they offer. It's not like the MMM is the only thing they work on.

Plus remember they do still have to make a lot more products than just the Monster.

From what I understand from our order placement --

We don't ship to RC-Monster directly, they buy from one of our distributors.

That distributor has received a shipment of Monster controllers from us already.

Another distributor shipment went out on the 15th.

Where it goes from there is not my department.

Seriously though, thanks for getting it all right Patrick! My v2 is rocking solid so far! And just so damn smooth.

True. And good to hear. I know 54 units are on the way to me already, and it is good to know that more are on the way to the distributor(the bulk of the MMMs from this distributor come to me - kind of a "partnership" of sorts). My best guess is that the 54 units will leave here in the next few days(as soon as they arrive), and if the "other" shipment is sizable enough, then we should have enough to fill all remaining pre-orders and put them in stock for everyone else next week. :)

[RC-Monster Mike]

In theory(quick glance through the expected shipment and pre-order status), we will ship pre-orders through order number 10008977 this week and the remaining 35 or so pre-orders should be filled from this "other" shipment as long as enough were sent. This should get everyone's order through me filled by next week(again, depending on the 2nd shipment quantity).

This means your pre-order will ship within the next few days, Shaun! :)

This is good news!!! Mine is No. 10008937.

Thanks for the update Mike.

[jnev]

Best news I have heard in a long time Mike. I am order #10008899.

BTW Mike, can you send me an invoice for the ESC mount please (its the same as my email address)? Any way it will be able to be sent at the same time as my pre-ordered MMM?

Thanks a lot.
