I know some guys on their 10th MMM! And while most "know-it-all" forum users will try and put it down to user error, that's not often the case. When you manufacture a product that is included in Traxxas Brushless Revo's, HPI Flux etc you have to anticipate a certain degree of "newbie" users and have a system that is somewhat tolerant of this.

Agreed, Most failures that I remember reading about (here on RCM) were 6s related. I know most members here are plenty savy and that their issues are certainly not user error. I'v had 3 failures over the the last couple years on
4s, none on 5s and I don't use 6s for the reasons mentioned.
My boss drives his LST2 on 6s like a complete nutcase, geared for 50mph and brakes set at 50%, ben 8 months no problem yet ?
Luck of the draw I reckon ?
Again, sorry to hear of your persistant prob.
