Wow, 3 pages already!!!! I go to sleep for a couple of hours and woke up to this. Just got back from the gym. Great!!!
I'm glad you understand what it's like to be in war. I just hate it when someone says something which strikes a chord within me.
Thanks for your support to those brothers in arms over there. I know how crucial every bit of free time and relaxation is towards easing and healing the wounds of war both mentally and physically.
Keep up the good work.

I think I might be the only one who is just waiting for good news. I'll still wait until everything is working perfect before I do get one.

Well said...for what this controller has to offer, and the price we paid for it...come on people, lighten up. Besides, it is a NEW product, it takes time to work out ALL the bugs. We should all commend CC for the support of this product and for the other controller products as well. To those who are complaining, how many have a MM esc? I would be willing to bet most of you. When they released the MM esc, it took time to get the bugs out and now, they have a tremendous esc on their hands which many of us enjoy.
In this hobby NOTHING is guaranteed fool proof...... Be patient......... and good things will come!

Maybe a better analogy is that I have been waiting for tools from Xray for months, parts for a car as well for a few weeks now. Waiting on parts from HPI as well which have also been AWOL for weeks now too. It's not just Castle that have issues keeping up with supply and demand.

mtbiker - im not sure, but i was wondering about this when the v1's were dieing. i estimated 60-80% were killed with a 5955tg servo... im not sure. but im hoping castle did some decent research when thats a very popular servo with MONSTER trucks... :)
im not too fussed. mine will probably die anyway knowing my luck haha.

I would think it shouldn't kill the bec as it is a very popular servo with plane guys as well.

I've never put a baby in a microwave, and I have never seen it happen before either. Does that make me unqualified to say it's not a good thing?
Why do certain people who have served in the military make it their crusade to call out anyone who has not served? I don't think anyone needs to be shouted down for saying that acts of war are much worse than your stupid rc toys. I think it's blatantly obvious, and can be mentioned by a guy whether or not he has seen it happen first hand.
Nobody said they know what it's like to serve in Iraq without being there. Chill....
When I was in 5th grade I saw a classmate get his head pancaked by a school bus tire right in front of me. So I guess I'm the only one qualified to say it's a bad deal to get your head ran over on the way to school.

Not to mention there are lots of war heroes that talk about it and have never seen combat. People who have been knee deep in fire fights and combat usually have very little if anything to say about it. Respect others and you will get respect in return. That is my motto. Whether you were in service or not.
