What Lipos are you running? What C rating and brand. I have heard that as brushless systems get larger and larger...they actually need top-shelf lipos. Bargain lipos offer a good price, but a lot of "ripple" comes with them sometimes. When an esc goes up in flames..it is often times "ripple" that damages the electronics from sub par lipos. Just what I have read/heard.

Castle is a great company and will most likely take care of you., but be sure to talk to Bernie in tech support about the XL and lipo recommendations. Their support is second to none....Even with some failures now and then....I would not own another brushless system other than Castle. Wish you the best on figuring out the bugs...most likely it is your lipos. Guys running Hyperion G3 35-65c lipos have had good luck using Castle's line of BIG speed controls. If you figure something out...let us all know.
