I don't think its a castle thing at all, all RC companies are on the forthfront of technology advance, every new release castle is pushing out is a first of its kind not revision's.... that a few ESC/Motors might blow here and there this is still there first 8S rated surface ESC. Something that just 4 years ago while the Mamba Max was the king of ESC was just unthinkable. Thankfully castle is a company that backs up everything they sell unlike many others. Im a huge castle fan, and to be completely honest if it wasn't for a company like castle id still be a nitro guy....(sad i know).
I personally like to take a small fire extinguisher and keep it in the car JUST IN CASE. Not because i don't believe in castle products but because freaky things just happen sometimes!!! So far ive only blown ONE MMMv3 ever out of the 7 i currently own and it happen on a ESC that i had used many times and one day i plugged it in and the second i did poof little cloud and DONE. It was a fluke, it happens but that happens in anything in life..... i think calling it a castle thing is unfair.
