Oh #%@!! What did I do to my SMC Lipos?

I don't doubt that, and if I felt the MMM was up to running a 5s/6s set up reliably I probably would.

But I don't think it is, the failure rate on 5/6s as against the failure rate on 4s is simply far too high!

What do you mean the failure rate is too high? For which cell range?

Like Linc said, the higher the voltage the better, I would be running a 45 volt setup (as 45 volts is around the limit for break-down through your outer skin layer) if there were the appropriate ESC available to the market.

Hmm, only one out of 5 I have had died on 4s. The other have ran fine on 5 and 6s. And the dead one was a bec failure, I even did the BG mod to it and it works fine with an external bec.

As far as failures go, are you considering just fet failures, or the bec failures as well? I do not consider the bec failures, as that was a component problem, not a design issue. And it has been rectified.
