from FC forum: (copy and pasted with a COUPLE minor changes) Steve, just wanted to let the folks know. Carl

"FYI - I no longer work for or with FighterCat LLC

My business partner f_ _ _ed me hard. He hired this dips_ _t that's driven us into the ground. They are buddies, so I'm the scapegoat.

I'm outta here."

I have personally translated his FC ESC instructions into Italian and also German for the folks overseas as well as being the moderator
for FC Forum. I have also as well as others tested alot of Bens esc's over the past couple years. Lets see if that gets done now days.

Well, looks like they as not going to be getting anything from this guy thats for sure.

And, yes, I am a bit miffed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

am going to give Ben a call Sunday and talkto him. (if he will take a call)

So who are the ones who own it?
or is FC just fading away??

Crap two weeks ago I sent back an ESC That was a problem child, Ben said to send it to him and he would send a new one. Haven't heard a word since I sent it. Didn't get much of a response to emails for a couple weeks before that. He seemed to be on top of all email before the high drama started. I hope he does'nt bail on his promise to the people here who have been customers trying to help him grow a buisness. I guess time will tell from here. I insured the package but didn't get delivery confirmation.

And now Bens out!..... Theres a thread on his forums.

[Steven Vaccaro]

There's more to business then just selling the latest and greatest. I can't speak for Ben. But I can speak for myself. Bringing in new products from China is not always as smooth as it should be. Items that seem fine on the surface turn out to be lemons. ESC's are one of the most difficult. Who's left holding the bag? The customer or the importer.

[Brushless55]

Well it looks like Ben has left FighterCat LLC. He posted in the FC forum today.

kinda strang, not sure what to make of all this.....

[Basstronics]

Unfortunately not everyone is a member of their forum. I tried to register to see this but I cant. Therefore this thread is my only means of knowing whats up.

In short, it a buisness partner and buis partners friend issue with messed up ordrers, slow shipping etc etc. Ben finally had enough and is pulling out of it

[Brushless55]

why not just fire the retards?

Does anyone know who the partner is, so returns can be resolved?

Well it certainly should not be the customer. If that was the case then the importer would have to be selling items known to be of sub-par quality. I know this happens, alot, but it should not be. The importer should be a proper "middleman" and weed out junk, not sell it to unsuspecting customers.

[tiqueman]

Because they're the partners good friend.

Not sure steven. I hope to talk to ben later today. Obviously I'm not going to jump on here and tell all, as that's bens matter and issue and what he wants out he will get out, but if anything I feel people should or need to know, for example who to get a ho9ld of, ill be sure to pass it on.

[xlandguy]

Ben tells it pretty much all himself on the FC forums, so I don't think it's any big secret.

[CornelP]

Do not know about the new owner activity on the forums, but I left a comment on some of the products today, asking them to either stop selling some of the motor mounts or delete my name form the "with permission from..." in the design reference. A couple of hours later, no mention to me or Peter on these pages...
I wonder if the comments I left on the forums are "moderated"...

[xlandguy]

Wow, FC is one strange "place" lol. I just found this on the FC website, not the forums, but the actual "sales" site:

The Secret to our success;
"Steven Vaccaro is a spineless nut sack.

Seriously. He mocks his own customers behind their backs. FighterCat racing was founded based on listening to the OSE customers that Steve mocked and ignored.
We simply made products that Steve wouldn't... and sold them without price gouging.
Funny, eh?
So, that's what our secret is... Steven's nut sack. (ew..)"

I for one, will NEVER buy ANYTHING from such a non professional and downright stupid "company". Isnt this outright slander on a public page?
