That sucks about the warranty.
My main concern with going with the EZRun is nitrorcx may never restock them, or take super long to restock. Judging by the price, I think they bought a huge qty at once for a low price, but now Hobbywing is probably out of stock. For the price, I'd really like to pick up a few EZRun combos, ESCs, and/or motors, but so far, nothing's been restocked.

I've read of a lot of people's MMMs fans going out. My HW fans have been fine. The only problem I've had is that the screws on the fan on the ESC are coming loose since they're only screwed into the ESC fins and not a threaded hole. But they've taken a lot of abuse, including flipping directly on to the fans because I was testing and running without the lid. I've also read the packaging of the MMM has a tendency to break. Even read a CC rep say that it's not as strong as it could be, or as he wanted, because of compromises to keep cost down. Makes sense, but I haven't had problems with the case on my HWs.
Sorry, none of that helped probably. You can pick up a HW EZRun 80A ESC on ebay for $70 shipped. If you decide to stick with the HW 150A, maybe you can pick up an 80A to run for the time being and have a spare ESC when the 150A comes back. The 80A is underrated IMO. It can handle quite a bit.
