I don't want to get into a back and forth about this. But, I have been using LRP escs for almost 4 years straight and only had two major failures. One was my fault, I was running non-stop (pack after pack) in 100+ degree weather and that was on purpose to see what it could take (yes, that was an expensive way to see how much an esc can take, I know this). The other failure was a bad BEC, which they took care for free well after the warranty expired.
Given that I race mod buggy, mod 4wd buggy, mod SC, mod 4wd SC, and mod TC, I have no reason to think that LRP is unreliable or any more unreliable than another manufacturers. LRP has only been the cause one DNF over 4 years of a ton of racing. I would say that is pretty good.
I guess my point is that I don't really understand why LRP has the reputation they do for reliability. That, or I have been really lucky and/or pay attention to what I am doing with my equipment. Ha!
Now that I have posted about this, I can just see myself burning one up tonight. Ha!
