I personally think there are a few issues:

1: People running 6s setups AND high KV motors AND geared too high. That combination pulls too much current on startup.

2: The BEC is too prone to problems. While they're designing it, they should also add some catastrophic failure circuit to the BEC output. Would still cause the ESC to fail, but at least your servo(s) and receiver would be saved.

3: Case is a poor design. IC/parts contact the bottom, throttle/switch wires could be chafed on the case, and (on V2) the bullet connectors are much too close to the heatsink. Also, if they insist on leaving the fan, allow it to be replaced without having to take the case apart.
