This way people who have pre-orders or who have yet to order might have a realistic timeframe of when to expect them to be available.

Well, I don't know how many can be produced in a day yet -- ask me again in a week.

We have about 75 replacements on the books right now, I believe.

Hey Patrick,
Its been 1 week since you posted this, so I figured...I'll ask.

How many Monsters were made this week?

Thanks in advance,

What day were they going to resume production ? thanks for the update !!

[captain harlock]

Gotta say you've stuffed around 100lbs of onions and garlics into our mouths. We won't open our mouths for a while now.

Thanks alot, Pat!

i got it in the mail today
but.....

it didnt go so good
opened up the box and took everything out and relized i was missing the castle link stuff, so o well i can get by without it for now.
get everything soddered up plug everything in to calibrate to radio turn the switch,and the fan dosent work with my first one the fan kicked on as soon as i flipped the switch. i dont know if that changed with v2 or not but my fan dosent work at all. also it had the orignal case with the female bullets soddered onto the board and males on one end of the wire which i like more than having the wires soddered onto the board directly.

i dont know if i should run it without the fan working or not but i just bench tested it with the wheels of the ground and i stripped my tranny gears again so i gotta tear it apart anyways

Forgot to mention -- the fan is under processor control on V2 -- so it only runs when required. So don't expect it to run at startup when it is cool.

Nice !!!

How many ma does the fan draw?

Patrick, Thanks for all the detailed info. I'm in the electronics MFG business & can tell you guys all that stuff in Patrick’s posts costs big bucks to buy & maintain. I would like to give a "hats off" to CC for doing all that stuff "in house". Many makers of electronics have all that stuff done at an outside vendor (assembly houses usually over seas). If that was the case with CC he would not be able to tell us when they would be done. Not to metion the fact that CC is putting Americans to work rather than saving a couple of bucks by having there products assembled in Malaysia or the P.I.
Thanks Again.

just ran a whole 8000 mah pack thru it in a very tight area with minimal light and all went well. only got the mmm up to 130 and the fan didnt come on yet. i would have some pics of it and maybe a small vid but i left my camera up at a buddies camp. im going there tomarrow for a party so ill have some up sunday

Patrick,
As much as your long post was meant to put people in their place(which was awesome, by the way) ...I actually found it very interesting/informative.

Not to set you off again...
...but at what temperature does the fan turn on?

I only ask because I know running w/o the fan voids the warranty.

But if the fan fails, someone may mistake that for "it's not that hot"

I, for one, would feel better about having a definitive temperature to refer to in terms of heat and fan failure monitoring.

thank you in advance,
Jarrad

Thanx Jarrad, I'm glad you found it interesting and informative. I really did mean it that way -- I hoped some people would find it interesting to know how we build controllers, what these "Stencil" things are that we keep talking about, and what processes and equipment are involved. It really is a pretty cool to see all the stuff up and running...

[Robert]

Good details Patrick. Thank you for taking the time to post that up. :)

fingers crossed the new stencil is good!

[Sneaky Pete]

I'm not sure if this has been answered elsewhere (if it has, I apologize), but perhaps Patrick could comment on this...is the V2 going to come with motor wires soldered to the ESC or will it now come with bullet connectors?
