Sorry if it seems I am victimizing the victim, but bad things happen to even the best of ESCs, so it's not unlikely these types of situations are going to occur.
when I buy a product, I expect that it works. I pay a certain amount for it, and if it's cheaper then some other products, may not mean that it's ok to fail.
for ex. I buy a small suzuki car, which would be chaper then a comparable small BMW. would that mean that it's just ok that the engine doesn't work after a week?

I think it can happen that new products fail, no matter what the price tag is. but when it fails, you have to get an replacement at least. it is not my problem that they didn't finish their work...

I payed for a working product, not for a not-working one.

and as hobbywing is NOT a small company but manufacturer for some known brands, I expect professional behaviour.

on the other hand, I have this bloody cheapo 200A ESC, and except the stupid breaks it just works flawlessly. It was real cheap, but - it works!!??

sorry guys, but it really pi..es me off when I see how they are rippin off people.
