I was not speaking to any "specific" instance so much as suggesting that the lower quality batteries CAN cause problems. Perhaps the MMM is more prone to this issue than other escs due to lower internal resistance or something else specific to its construction or specifications. That wasn't my point. My point was to state my agreement that better batteries are indeed better. Better performance. Better cycle life. Less likely to cause esc problems(Better). Regardless of how prone any particular esc is to this issue, it will be less prone when quality batteries are used. That is my logic.
So - IF the MMM or any other esc is prone to failure due to lower quality cells, then my "flawed" logic suggests that better batteries lessens the possibility of this happening. The fact that the manufacturer recommends high quality batteries to begin with is no secret, either.
Is this illogical?
