Fets is short for MOSFET (Although there are JFET's as well, but that's a different animal). The way a brushless speed control is setup to control the motor the fets are like switches. When going slow the fets are on longer than when the the motor is turning faster. It shouldn't really hurt them going slow, but since your friend did a couple of hard starts then started crawling maybe it was just too hot you didn't really say how long he did that but I'm just guessing it overheated, who knows. I guess just send it in and get it repaired, then ask Castle what they think happened.

It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cant be built into this product.
