It follows the same pattern like clockwork after each of the aforementioned changes. This ESC is only about 1.5 months old, but in my desperation I replaced it with a brand new RX8 I keep in my box for a back-up. Waaaallaaaa, that fixed it! So it seems like once my RX8 gets up to temp so to speak; it begins to fail for some reason. Bought this at a local hobby shop and I lost my receipt Since they're a local place I can't get an online copy like you can when you buy from the online places.
That is the exact same issue I experienced, and I did exactly as you did. Fortunately my is only two days old and I have a receipt. I will be sending it in for replacement and the will sale it and purchase a different brand.

I'm curious, when you purchased a new one did you experience the same issue?
