So are you guys saying that the EMF is causing the ESC's to fail prematurely? If so, should I be running mechanical brakes on 5s 6500mah Lipo's? If so, how do you assign reverse on a Spektrum DX2 to actuate the brake servo??? I'm all for it if it will stop the Monster failing again? Or are you recommending not running over 4S?
I wouldn't call what I said "official", it's just my tendency to not run things to the max specs. I routinely run both my MMM systems on 5s with motor brakes and no problems so far.
