I really don't know. Maybe there is a weak spot on the ESC. When I was beta testing, I noticed that the MMPro heated up less than the MM for the same setup (without the fan). I know the MMPro uses newer/better FETs, just fewer of them (15 IIRC). Since there are fewer FETs, maybe you just had too much current localized in one spot and it went into thermal runaway? Whatever the case, I'd be interested to know what CC finds to be the cause. Could just be a firmware glitch that hasn't been caught yet.
