This is very surprising to hear. We have seen very few problems with the Sidewinder 8th and 1515B motor. It has actually been one of the most successful releases of a new product in recent history.

What exactly is happening to the ESCs? I see that the most recent one burned on plug-in, but was it run previously? What happened to the other ESCs?

What vehicles are these being run with? Please provide some general setup information including gearing, battery connectors and continuous C rating of the batteries.

The Sidewinder 8th cannot be pushed as hard as a Mamba monster 2. It has a lower amperage rating and as such cannot be geared as aggressively, run in as heavy of vehicles vehicles or be driven as hard compared to the Mamba Monster. Please keep this in mind when choosing the Sidewinder 8th over the Mamba Monster 2.
