Curious as to what you are running when you have failures. Tekin? Gearing? I have been running a MMP with a tekin T8 2050kv motor on 4S for a couple of seasons. Zero problems. Well I have replaced a couple of fans, but other than that it has been rock solid. If you are frying motors and ESC then you are probably geared wrong for the KV of the motor. Are you checking temps? Also, as an FYI large motors do not benefit from advancing the timing, like the smaller motor sizes. Also, I only ever run in smart sense mode. Which starts sensored and switches to sensor less. Never had an issue with power. I can run for about 25 min without melting anything.
