How are they ripping people off? Many/most do work, and work just fine. Yeah, their support leaves much to be desired, but a company is in business to make money and to offer such a cheap ESC for the capabilities, they must have to cut corners somewhere.

Look at Feigao; they are cheap motors that do the job. But, they are not as good as a high priced motor and have issues. On the same token, Neus are high priced, but have occasional issues as well.

Any high performance system, whether it be cars, audio, r/c, etc, is running closer to "the rail". So, it is understandable that there will be malfunctions.

The only point I'll grant you is that they should readily honor a warranty for defects. But to expect high-end ESC performance/support without paying the high-end price is not reasonable IMO.

Not trying to single anyone out or diminish the fact that these components failed, just trying to put things into perspective.
