Like you said,

. What about the rest that can thermal the ESC? There is always the possibility and a newbie might take faiulre of the fan as an indication that the ESC is still cool even though it's not.

I don't have any problems (knock on wood) yet on my V1 on 1515 1Y on 6S. However, I will be exchanging it for the V2 once the backlog is over.
