    "I haven't run Fightercat Racing since May..... and haven't owned it for more than a year"

    This just doesn't sound like Bens' style to me. I have a feeling his 'comrades' are speaking for him here. At least, I hope that's the case. Give it some time, the truth will filter in. It's unfortunate for all this to have happened, to be sure. It doesn't bode well for the present 'owners'.

      Man I was going to put in a serious order into fc a few weeks ago I figured I would give his products a shot but was sending him emails asking some questions and got no response. I am glad I didn't place it and will always remain here at OSE for these simple reasons. So i won't be missing much anyways with him gone.

        Guys, I had a conversation with someone from FighterCat this morning. There is turmoil and friction within. Some of the nonsense we've seen on the web is based on that friction. The source of that nonsense isn't for me to say. One dissatisfied person trying to injure the other. With that, I "think" throwing in the towel on the whole FC company may be premature. They are trying to make it right. At least by me they are.

        Think of it as a restructuring. Wait....a race analogy. You know when you spin out and have to get back up on plane? You have to get the prop to hook up again. Kinda like that. Lot's of splashing and noise but you're not really moving.....yet.

        So those of you with the "we'll see" thinking are probably spot on.

          How did you get to have a conversation with them?
          I'm sure they're swamped trying to get going again but did they talk about when they will be answering emails/ shipping orders again?

              Despite the waves, whomever is ultimately is in control really dropped the ball.

              The website and forum should of been better protected. This situation could of went over much smoother that way.

              Hopefully these wrongs can be righted and we can all go back to a positive point.

                Kevin called me personally. The FC stock is not in Ben's back yard by the way.

                Sounds like there's still some hurdles for them to cross before they'll have it straight. I didn't pry super hard into exactly what the problem was/is. Didn't feel like that was my business really.

                My perception is that there was a falling out. Who's at fault, what happened between partners? Not sure I care. All that really matters to me as a customer is "Will they make it right?" I feel like they will but again, we'll see.

                  That is good. I watched a business go thru this from the employee stand point. It wasn't fun for any of us.

                  Perfect example why to never have a business partner.

                    I suspect there would/could be issues with access to pay-pal too. Speculation on my part but it would make sense if there was a tear in the FC space time continuum so to speak. If they relied on pay-pal for shipping it could have really screwed them up.

                      Looks like Bens personal email was hacked, too. Got some spam from him today.

                        Hacked email? Thats laughable. All this hacking stuff is laughable.

                        Ive seen the "I was hacked" excuse in court. The Judge even had a grin when the defense was presenting that part of the case... lol

                        Im just sure theres a ton of hackers that really want Bens email.

                              I can't get in anymore - says my user name is wrong. Funny thing is I had it stored on my PC along with the original email detailing the info.
