My V2 is still going Strong! It has performed GREAT everytime it's been called on.

The fan still works. Everything works like it should.

It's getting older now too.

It has probably seen 100 packs go through it. 4S, 5S, and 6S!

4% failure rate on mainly the old MMMs isnt too bad at all, especially given its power handling capabilities and built in switching BEC & easy to use pc programmability- compare that to cooked Schulzes that they (schulze) would refuse to warrenty 99% of time, or the expensive MGMs that are a nightmare to programme via pc, and it suddenly doesnt seem so bad.

Besides, no other company that I've seen has ever released failure rate info, and some even deny a problem with their escs and just fix the issue in silent- Castles openess should be applauded, rather than used as ammo to find some non-existant design flaw in their escs thats causing failures; even then the flaws are fixed with each new version of the esc, working towards making it truelly bullet & idiot proof.

As for the same user killing multiple escs, its like I said, often either a setup issue (same setup each time = dead esc each time), some kind of external problem (landing a big jump at the track without any padding under the esc, resulting in physical damage), or just occasionally, freakish bad luck

EDIT:

upto a 60% failure rate on xbox 360s has been reported according to numerous online poles and feeback from retailers, yet people still buy them happily knowing the odds are against them getting a working system for any length of time. 4% looks rather awesome by comparsion...
