I only parted with my Savage Flux yesterday so I would say my experience is very recent. I have heard of some clubs running a 1/8 class disallowing them as they are considered unsafe, a quick google search will find many pictures of a MMM turned into a pile of liquid plastic and scorch marks. Failure rates are one thing, but the way they fail is also relevant. From a club point of view, where OH & S is a consideration, an ESC that dies by simply not turning on or letting out a bit of smoke, is preferable to one which has the potential to cause a fire.
