Here's where I've got to voice my opinion...

1 of those failures was on a unit that even the folks at Castle said appeared that liquid of some sort was sucked in by the fan. If that's the case, and the liquid caused the failure, how is it related to pushing the limits of the ESC?

On the 2nd failure where the user was sort of pushing the limits, the battery connector came unplugged while he was braking. If a battery can shift enough to pull the connector free while you're driving, it's a poor setup and purely user error IMO.

So, given the facts that have been posted about those 2 specific failures, it's really hard to see how one can draw a conclusion that a setup that pushes the MMM spec limits is really causing a failure.
