I don't know of one fan that has not failed or broken
upon impact from the jumps with the 1/8th scale buggies and truggies, the case compresses and damages wires from the fan and shorts the whole ESC out. There is not enough clearance between the bottom of the case and the plug of the fan. It has been breaking off. The fan blades catch on the housing of the fan and break off. Not to mention the electronic failures that have frustrated owners to the point that I have had some tell me they don't even want to open theirs and put it in their vehicle.
Some, like happywing did not even get to put his vehicle on the track. It toasted when he was setting it up in his basement.
I would be curious to know the actual failure numbers of the intial release.

Well the first thing I would like to mention is that my MMM works perfectly and has for several hours. This last weekend I ran three 5 minute qualifiers and then the 15 minute main with no problems at all. Fan works, temps under 120, blah, blah, blah. It was incredible! Remember, when things work great you don't hear about them as much as when there's a problem.
The other thing I would say is to be careful about pointing fingers at CC unless you have first hand knowledge of what they do or don't do in their testing. Your judgement can be damaging to their reputation and should be given careful scrutiny. CC has proven they are a great company and puts out great products with great service.
