I guess we will see, but I've been running MMM's since the first batch of V1's and never had this issue, still have a v2 going strong in my erevo and 2 v3's in my 8ights (truck and buggy).
PS you may want to try a new mounting location in your 8t

this problem has nothing to do with modification. i have a v2 still going strong too. i love them despite the ones that have failed. my motor lead wires are have heatshrink on them but that doesnt matter if either the female connector is up against the heatsink or if the male portion of the connector decides to come out and rattle against the heatsink/female connector at the same time. there isnt heatshrink on the part that inserts into the connector, remember! and go look more closely at your unmodified MMMs. there is nothing between the connectors and the heatsink. there is a little plastic between the connctors themselves but nothing stopping them from hitting the heatsink in a hard hit. think these things through, stum.
