Since I imagine you're going to call Castle, do you think they are going to ask how you managed to burn it like that?

Don't remind me about that darn smoke...
I gotta call Joe for some other business, and I'll also ask him about my two Mamba Max ESCs. Hopefully the newer one will be replaced for free since it had such little time on it.

The number of people using 4s vs. 5s is much greater.

It turned out that the system was cogging so badly that it would tear teeth right off of the spur. Had to go to 14/46 to stop the cogging.
I don't know what's going on with the Mamba Max lately. The very first two that i bought are doing OK on 4S. The three newer ones are with Castle right now. The very last one that quit working, just stopped. No smoke, no nothing.

The MM handles the 18/46 gearing very well (had a nice long run last night without a fan). Cogging is very minimal, and low speed driving is very possible... and I'm even using the 4mm plugs! Perhaps the 8ight has a different diff ratio than the Hyper 8?
