That broken part is the main BEC switching coil. And yeah, it must be hitting the case pretty good to break off. You might want to take some 1/8" - 3/16" thick foam bits and apply them to the motor and power solder pads as a sort of standoff. Yeah, you shouldn't have to do this, but anything to keep these running, eh?

Brian is right with the foam. That is exactley what I did to mine. You can find pics of what I did here: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15249

I know what you mean and where you coming from so don't take this the wrong way but it's funny to hear people say that. For as long as I can remember now most in the BL world have done some kind of modification to there ESC's to run them in larger vehicles. Looks how many modded quarks just to keep them running cool.

I think at this point CC has it figured out. I would also imagine their having to mod or change the case in some way to remedy that issue as well.
