Whats up at FC ?

[driftah]

I think that the integrity of this site and store will speak for itself,I used to manage an electronics store and this bs is commonplace nowadays.I think that observing the competition is always best but not attacking them in any form...kinda shows maturity levels and true businessmen imo behave similarly by consulting with lawyers like steve here has done that way your move is safe and has reasonable grounds instead of personal vendettas etc.I have learned that customer service these days is really the only difference as you kinda can buy anything anywhere so treating them well will separate you from the rest.think of why besides price you all buy stuff from someone or a store hmmmm.I really hope that all the pending orders etc get sorted out for you guys and if not involve paypal etc. If they dont take care of you guys make them sink like a g freak setup on 6s.

The fe rc boat marketplace is too small, and the power of internet too large, to entertain foolish behavior from vendors..
Ben was identified as Fighter Cat Racing.... whoever now drives that name is losing the web's vote of confidence.

However, until the facts are revealed.. Id not cast my vote.....

Good post

I've always been amazed at how quickly people will choose to support or bash others on the web. I choose to wait for the facts.

I am amazed that anyone would put the Steven is a nutsack thing on the front page of their site though...If I had only seen that I would have assumed that they had been hacked. What did Steven do to become such a target? I ran into plenty of people on this site that may have rubbed me the wrong way at one time or another...Steven has definitely never been one of them.

Well, Keith, I wish you well in your new endevour. Maybe this fracas will actualy be of benefit to you. I am sure that we wont be seeing the kind of foolish name calling like on FC. That alone is enough to turn me away, no buying a new motor from them now. Or another boat down the line either. You really have alot of time invested in FC products, will you continue that way? or start your own line?
Keith, you need a link on each site to the other site too.

I still don't understand why the retards were not fired by the owner as the FC warehouse was in Ben's back yard, I thought.....

At this point I honestly don't know where Fighter Cat stands. A lot of people assume things...who knows what direction things are going to go. Without knowing the inside story I don't know who's been screwing up, who's been doing well, ect. I also don't know who's been posting the things that have been posted. At this point I prefer to wait and see as I'm sure we will know more about this in the future. If Fighter Cat gets on the ball and ships everyone their orders right away, that could be a good sign...if they screw around then we know what's to come. A lot of people have been very patient with this company that has closed/opened on and off multiple times. If the new operators say that Ben was the problem, it will show pretty quickly. If they are the problem, that should be evident as well. The truth will come out with the way they operate the business, and there is no amount of gamesmanship from anyone that will hide it.
I have a lot of time invested in building boats, but not so much fighter cat products. The things I have developed are parts that will work in any hull, with the exception of hull-specific twin motor mounts, which I can make for any boat. I still plan on building the same way, regardless of FC's future.

I know I need to link the sites together, but the main site is in my wife's wheelhouse, not mine. I should be able to get her to put something on there in the next day or two.

I am in that same boat.

As far as I know, a number of products were moved to the "warehouse" in the last couple months. The warehouse was Ben's business partner's place, not the pic Steve posted. I think that's just where he started.

Ok, gotcha..

[Nosbig]

That makes a lot more sense now. I could sense something strange or non- ben like happening in the last few months, I just figured I wouldn't speak up.
The only issue really is not much competition for Steve to keep his prices low (not saying I don't trust you Steve)

For me it never made a difference. They sell different products, so I bought what I needed from whoever had it.

I still think a lot of you guys need to refrain from jumping to conclusions until things are sorted out.
I'm not sure what the up side would be of posting that comment about Steven...
Think about why someone might possibly do something before you assume they did it.

Yes, too many jumping on the funtimes band wagon of bagging an individual, when none have factual information on topic ( does anyone ? )

Precipitated for reasons unknown from the FC site.

I sit, sip my coffee, and watch what happens before I place bets..

I think all that could be said has been said. For now this will be closed.
