Makes sense to me. Some people will just refuse to believe in any additional delay at all unless Patrick himself comes on here and tells them so ;).

Well both of you guys seems got a point. I know beta testing is good before main production and it sounds sensible. However, in some point Texas is also correct. Im not saying anything but unless Patrick is just making sales talk, he did say that production has started on the 14th or something
Link

I hope they did do beta test for confirmation but also hoped that it will not cause more delay.

Look, if BrianG or some other long time poster with a lot of credibility came on here and said this, I would have an easier time believing it. I am not saying the guy is lying, it just doesn't jive with everything else castle has said recently. Sorry if I am more inclined to believe the horses mouth directly than someone I have no clue about. Of course this is the internet and no one ever makes up stories here..........

I'm not slamming anyone, but I do figure if this was false info, he would have been corrected already. Not much chance of someone posting false info about Castle in this section of RCM without getting called out on it ;).

IMO it just makes good sense to send a dozen or so out for some initial feedback to avoid another incident like we just had with the V1 Monster's. I'm refraining from judgment either way at this point, I just feel it would be a smart move on castle's part. I'd say they would choose randomly out of those waiting for ESC's to make the offer to.

How about posting up some pictures of that test V2 unit to put this argument to rest ?

I have an MMM being repaired and I am waiting on 2 other new castle escs that I ordered ages ago. When will the pain end. I need escs . Everything brushless seems to be out of stock at the moment. I'm trying to order a VXL Rustler and they are out of stock most places as well.

What he says is correct--- we had an issue with one of the stencils (that we found during production of the first two panels) that required that we have new stencils made for the Monster.

So we thought -- well, we might as well make this into an extended Beta, just to get a few more out there and let people bash 'em up a bit.

The new stencil will be in on Monday, and production will resume then.

The email I received yesterday stated that new version MMMs are being sent out to a few select MMM customers whose controlers have failed for real world testing.This is a good sign since my first failed MMM was repaired and returned to me only to fail again.

I stand corrected. I think you can appreciate my skepticism though being the internet and all.

My fault -- I should have got on here a couple days ago when we ran the first panels and ran into the solder stencil problem.
