Just a theory...
They have less than 10 cycles on them. Turnigy 3s nano-tech 5000mah 35-70c and Turnigy 2s 5000mah 40c. Balance is within 0.01v according to my iCharger 106B. Haven't checked the IR on them but if it's of any interest I'll hook em up to the charger and give you the numbers.

I just remembered something I forgot to mention in my initial post. I've changed the fan since the original one came apart. Fan was working now but is it possible that I've damaged the ESC with heat prior to changing the fan and this caused the ESC to fail? The fan died last week during a bash session. I check the fan every time I plug in my packs but like I stated it died while running my 6T so I didn't notice until the same day I did the upgrade.

@slimthelineman hehe, yeah I've read numerous posts about batteries and MMM's as well. Not worried about the warranty part, just trying to avoid having a new one die on me.
