If it went up in flames -- it wasn't a BEC failure. Most likely it was over current -- setup incorrect, and possibly demagged the motor. Every major failure like this that we have seen have been setup problems where the current rises from a damaged motor so quickly that the over-temp doesn't have a chance to kick in.
