Fighter Cat Racing Close UP?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Perhaps it's time for a new policy here on OSE.

My main goal has always been to better the hobby (Dont get me wrong, making a living is also part of that). So I don't want to stifle advancements. Fightercat has some cool hulls, if they choose to come back down to Earth, remove the trash and apologize for their mistakes I will continue to allow links to non-competing products.

Well said Steven and fair IMO

I re-read what I posted. I don't mean to make excuses for the situation. Sure reads that way though. I'm not going out on a limb and vouch for FC. I guess I just can understand how it goes from messed up to bad to WTF! There's human beings on the other end of that mess. Takes time. Especially if they're still in the midst of an internal disspute...............doing it again. Dang. Sorry guys.

Yep. Sucks. Think we've established that.

Has anyone noticed he double the price of his controllers? At least the 140amp one. I liked his stuff but it's hard to buy anything from a company that does not respond to anything. I buy most of my stuff from. OSE. The only time I don't is if Steve doesn't have it or carry it.

I noticed the same thing Howard I never bought one thing from fc for several reasons I get my parts from two places here at ose and from Manuel ( he helps me out quite often )

That's exactly what we'd expect from you Steven.

I've always tried to spread my spending around. I have a couple LHS that I try to support. Heck, one store stocks hughey and octura parts. Gotta keepthem going. There are few I wont buy from. It's a short list. FC wasn't on that list for me.

[Chrisg81983]

That was my main goal as well but over the years I weeded out the bad and stuck with the good. Sometime back I tried to order from fc a few times as I found some of his products to be very cool but when I tried to contact ben and ask him a few questions he didnt respond. weeks went by n I decided to try one final time again with no response so I sent him a final email kindly stating why he lost just under a 2000 order. He soon replied back with some smart comments while being real nasty as well. After that episode I decided to put him on the DON'T support list

I was too was thinking of dumping a 1000 or so on a build and asked when the 110 mm 3/16 stingers were going to be back in stock. and never got a reply back, oh well. I have placed small orders in the past with no problem, but if your gona do build and need to talk or email and cant do it, thats a problem, OSE and KINTEC, have gotten back in 24 hours every time. I like some of FC"s products, but will need to see some more improvment before I spend any big money there, for now its OSE and KINTEC for me.

Steve, you got a guy asking about the Pursuit mono kits in the FS forum. I am waiting on the answer there too Last you said anything there was like mid June.

Its a real shame that this happened to Fightercat but business is business. In lieu of everything that has happened over at Fightercat I feel it is important to extend my gratification to Steve here running OSE. I am in NY which isn't very far from Mass where OSE is located but Steve manages to get my products out to me within a two day window regardless of when I place my order. I have placed multiple orders with OSE and will continue to do so as the customer service is unheard of in the hobby. Fantastic is the only word I would use to describe all experiences with OSE. I really find it odd that Ben at FC would say ANYTHING negative as he was a member on the forum and seemingly a nice guy so I hope all is well for him. If FC dissolves and becomes nothing at all so be it (although I was looking forward to these escs with data logging), I think now more than ever we need to appreciate our forum as this is the one we're all posting on and we should remember that at OSE we're friendly to all members and business can be conducted as well. Its rare for anyone in any particular hobby to find a place like this and I think we need to appreciate what we have here. For those of you who have decided to make claims with paypal I would have done the same thing and I hope you recover anything you've lost. Thanks Steve, the big order I placed arrived on time and the twin leopard 4082s make my 41" cat an absolute powerhouse and you made my day by shipping them when you did. I hope this post fuels your passion to give back to the customers in a way and also yourself.

I am so glad I never bought into the FC fad. If it survives by some kind of miracle (or the groupies) I still choose not to "buy in"
If you did and/or will, more power to you!

Pat on the back to you bro!
