I have raced the same MMM for two years plus hours of practice with zero problems! But if I do happen to have a problem with my esc I know that their customer service is but a phone call away and the problem will be taken care of! You did read at the end of the video that Castle replaced the esc the next day, now that's real warrantyservice. Try that with Hobbywing

yes they have a great warrantie but here is the thing as in the other video its something you need but dont whant to use , i think castle systems defo need that warrantie with a 40% fail rate its not good , i have yet to have a hobbywing system fail on me and for the price that castle charge for there systems if they do fail i could replace the system atleast twice over thanks

I did try on three occasions to email Hobbywing with minor issues about programing and received no response, that would never happen with Castle Creations.

Just because you can out drive someone using different electronics proves nothing as to the quality of the electronics, just that your a better driver

You can always come right through me for warranty work. The ESC is covered by a warranty for 1 year. The one thing I have seen not covered under the warranty is if the esc gets wet enough that water penetrates the casing and getting deep into the electronics.

If the ESC goes bad within about the first month, I replace it right away. After that, I would have to have it sent out to be inspected. The distributor I have has been very good about the time it takes to have the ESC's looked at.
