    You missed out on a lot of cool stuff. I have built some pretty sweet boats with Fighter Cat hulls. I'm glad I didn't have whatever personal issues you had, as a lot of good came out of FC, regardless of where it ends up.

    It will be a shame if something doesn't turn around quickly. We are limited in resources for FE boating and I don't see the benefit in another retailer that isn't trustworthy. We already have one of those. Hopefully FC doesn't turn into another FD.

          I think FC has some really good stuff at a good price, as I said in a earyer post I have bought small orders from them with no probems at all, but lack of comunication between buyer and seller is a big problem to me, and my only real bitch with them, its nice to have a few choices of what to buy and where to get it. That being said, I have had 100% positive exp with OSE and Kintec also, its nice to get these parts the rite parts in the USA and in a couple days, I hope this mess sorts itself out, if FC wantd to stay in the game they better step up to the plate and do it soon,

            Update:

            Ok, so I received an email from Jason at fightercat asking if this was a personal transaction that Ben and I had made for the ESC and programmer, which it was as Ben and I had developed a close enough working relationship that I didn't bother using the website to order much anymore as Ben would handle that directly. Jason also said he was going to contact Ben regarding the missing 1521 Neu. Hopefully he will find something out with that.

            Now, I do not know who did the refund, Ben or Jason, but I was refunded the money I paid the fightercat paypal address. Jason did not say if he did the refund due to paypal claim, or if Ben did it due to it possibly affecting him personally (that is if the [email protected] was Ben's personal email/paypal...that is unclear to me)

            None the less, it sounds like this Jason guy wants to get this right. I hope that truely is the case, and I can have good things to say in the future. I don't know what happened to this company, but boy what a twisted mess!

              That's great to hear Mike! Maybe there is a small chance that the company will survive if all is righted. Jason sounds like an outstanding employee/employer, who knows what his position is in the company at this point, but I guess that point is moot as long as you have been refunded. Now to get the motor back is the next step and I think once we see that it will restore some trust in all of us who invested in the upbringing. Hopefully so

                    Well it really sounds like FC Business is stepping up to the plate. I guess that leaves one to draw a conclusion on who was doing what...

                      Well in light of everything that was happening after getting email response from Kevin - Shipping Manager, I went ahead and ordered a part. FC were the only people stateside that had it, order was under a 100.00 bucks I figure if I don't get it within two weeks I can always file a pp claim. I'm not too worried if I receive it or not. When Ben was involved he never did me wrong, neither did FC as a company.

                              What numbers are your orders? I'm #1369 and I'm wondering if I'm just in line to get shipped or if I was forgotten about.
