Sounds much better than the experience I had with my Monster ESC.
I got treated worse and it took longer, and I am not even overseas. Mine did last 20 minutes or so, versus Topas's 1 minute.
Sorry Topas if you feel like you got treated badly. But I dont think you want the MMM. They wouldnt even send me a case or fan because of their "rules". Id have to send it back in and wait another 6 to 6 1/2 weeks for them to repair it!
I woud definately buy a Tekin RX8 over a MMM anytime, anyday!
Again just my .02 cents.
