We both beat the tar out of ours. *shrug*

I also notice this is a key factor here. Even with my failed V1, I asked Joe and Thomas if there was anything I may have done wrong to cause the failure. I always analyze myself as well as the company. I have the V2 now and all has been well.
I really can't understand how some people have up to 5 failed MMM's, it just doesn't add up.
I do notice that the catastrophic failures are regulated to the higher amp motors or over geared setups. Guys running 1.5d's on 6s offroad, or guys running the 1y on 4s geared for 50+ mph. I just don't believe in pushing everything to the limits, which is why my 6s 2.5d is geared for low to mid 40's. This is plenty for bashing, and in rough terrain it's too much. I really don't understand guys gearing bashing rigs for 45+ mph.
I am sure people will be mad for me suggesting this, but oh well.
Also a big ditto to BrianG's post. As always, much truth and wisdom in there.
