I am sorry...but the failures that racers are seeing show that not enough testing was done within the parameters that the ESC was going to see in the real world.
I don't know of one fan that has not failed or broken
upon impact from the jumps with the 1/8th scale buggies and truggies, the case compresses and damages wires from the fan and shorts the whole ESC out. There is not enough clearance between the bottom of the case and the plug of the fan. It has been breaking off. The fan blades catch on the housing of the fan and break off. Not to mention the electronic failures that have frustrated owners to the point that I have had some tell me they don't even want to open theirs and put it in their vehicle.
Some, like happywing did not even get to put his vehicle on the track. It toasted when he was setting it up in his basement.
I would be curious to know the actual failure numbers of the intial release.
