FC hv esc's

[keithbradley]

Did you guys notice that it says "unassembled kit"? I wonder how "unassembled" they are...

Keithy whats the FC price on the 380?

Just wanted to compare the risk factor here. To save 20-30 not worth it. 50 our more might be worth the gamble.

Hello Brydon,

Glad to receive your inquire. My name is James, sale manager from Flier company. Cathy is my colleague,she is on holiday in weekend.
Our company has specialized in brushless motor speed controller(ESC) for more than ten years.
we made more than 100 type of products, current from 20A-400A,voltage from 2S-24S(8V-100V),and we also can customize ESC according to the customer's demand.
Fightercat is a big customer of ours in USA. We cooperated with Fightercat over two years. It is just me to contact with Benjamin(the one boss of Fightercat ) , but Benjamin are having some trouble with his partner Jason, So Fightercat have a new manager Kevin G now.
we sell Fightercat too many type ESC, such as the 16S/200A, 16S/300A,16S/400A, 8S/240A, 16S/150A.
your caution is right. Recently, some companies in china imitate our ESC ,but they are very low quality and use our old firmware with some bugs. Our newest ESC can be updated firmware by the user, can two-way communicate with PC and so on more new function.
We can sell different ESCs combined to make up the 10 units to you. Please tell which ESC you need?
Would you please like to tell more about you or your company?

Thanks
James

So this breathes some new info on the whole Ben situation, but more importantly it looks like "two way communication" could be the data logging that was coming, and some of us already have the programmers!
I definitely don't have 1600$ but if I can sell some first then maybe, so who's in? Or if keith became a supplier, that would be pretty awesome!

FC doesn't sell a 380 as far as I know.

[siberianhusky]

Nope LMAO!

I don't know what they cost, I'm not even sure which ESC that would be.

I don't think Fighter cat is selling the HV ESCs right now, and who knows if they will in the future. Sometimes I get the impression that people think I am somehow a FC insider...I really don't have any more info than you guys.

This company is going to stop taking emails seriously if they keep getting inquirys from people who are not really serious.

Sorry guys, just sayin'.

I know you dont work for them, but since you utilize a TON of their products I figured you would remember.

Im guessing this is the FC 400A model?

Im going to wait a few weeks and let some dust settle before purchasing anything. Seems to me FighterCat (The business) is going to bounce back. If within reason compared to the Alibaba site single price I will buy there. If not I will just go direct.

Seems the Fliermodel people know whats going on at FC so I would assume they actually make them and are not BS'ing people. Then again, they could just read OSE? lol

[Nosbig]

Well they knew Ban's partner's name, I've never seen that anywhere before.
You're right I probably shouldn't have inquired until I was more serious, but it might still work out.

[Basstronics]

Its not a good situation.

If you buy 10 pcs then you gotta sell them to recoup your money. How long is it going to take you to sell 10?

Why do that to save $10 one each controller? Who is going to buy it from you when they can buy direct for $10 more with FREE shipping?

LOL its a no win situation. Besides it will put you in direct competition with people with deep pocket. Im not going to order 10, period.

I will however possibly order 1 for myself.

This deal has all the risk and no reward. DONT DO IT.

You would have to make a decent amount of money on them, much more than $10 a piece. When someone fries one, they are still going to hold you accountable since you sold it to them. Having to replace a controller that you only made $10 on is going to put you in a losing situation.

[Basstronics]

Exactly... Thats why buying just what you need direct for only $10 more shipped is the sensible option.

Hopefully FC will get the ESC's straightened out and back up. I plan on buying in 2-3 weeks.

........... just watching....
