Here's a post of mine:

As far as whether or not a controller will die for some reason, it's a toss-up. It could be quality or how it is used, or a combination of both. In the case of Schulze controllers, it seems that the plugs (motor) become looser over time, causing large voltage spikes at the MOSFETs, damaging the controllers.

I don't think one can say that Novaks will last for years; I had one that only lasted about a month (Explorer 2). Even now, the red LED will come on, but that's it.
