Wondering if y'all have any idea what's going on with my truck I am running a brushless setup with the three s 5000 milliamp hour battery and I keep burning up ESC first esc I used was a hobby Horizon exactly what it was but I've went through a total of 4 ESC I don't know what's going on with it but I took it to the Hobby Shop t have them look at it and figure out what's wrong with it and the past three times they warranty out the ESC and they put it in themselves and they don't know what's going on with it I don't know why it keeps happening but hopefully you'll have an idea I'm really getting fed up with this truck

Going to need a lot to start with. I’ve rarely had an esc issue in almost 10 years. I’ve killed a couple by stupid mistakes.
What happens when it fails? No power, powers up but no response? Any burning smell? What motor/vehicle?
My first guess would be overheating. Any chance it’s not rated for 3s?
