BBB,

Please seend the units in and let our repair department take a look at them. As I said before we have a very VERY low failure rate on the Sidewinder 8th ESC. So it is very alarming to see 4 units fail and generally points to a setup issue. We will have our repair techs dissect the units and see if we can determine the cause of failure.

The smaller tire diameter does change the setup a bit, but the batteries are still below our recommended minimum C rating; and if the ESCs are being damaged due to high ripple current then then upgrading the batteries or adding extra capacitors is the only viable option in preventing failures.
