Respectfully, I disagree (not trying to bash you here
). Castle *recommend* 6S with the 1515 1Y, and will have designed the controller to take the current with that kind of voltage. I don't think anyone's even managed to thermal a Monster yet, anyway...most of the catastrophic failures (flames) have been fairly random. They could even be a minor software glitch; maybe, for whatever reason, something's confusing the software momentarily, causing it to send incorrect commands to the FET controllers (or whatever controls the FETs), and poof; flames. They did say they're releasing a new software revision, afterall.
It's all just speculation right now, but I can't see that just running the controller perfectly within spec is causing the issues. 6 months ago it would have been expensive to get this kind of reliable power (assuming the MMM will be reliable with V3), but technology just becomes cheaper.
