I had a similar problem with 2 MM ESC's. It was smooth, braked hard and I was bragging left and right. Then slowly the brakes faded and I got less power. Cogging would get worse and then one day ....BOOOM!!...ESC smoked. I'm still waiting for my replacement ESC from CC. Brake was always set 50% and drag brake was at 10%. My last ESC blew all 3 caps. And I'm running a fan on my ESC too, making me wonder about the qaulity. My buddy has his ESC since last year and still going with the exact same setup that I have.
