AMS I killed my last one and 2 of my friends killed theirs one went right up and bought a new one from an on-site vendor and the switch was defective. We just cut it off since the vendor sold out. They can tell you the exact number of esc that died in those events since you had to fill out a warranty card when you swap esc's on site.

Again, I am hoping that they really improved their quality because I was disappointed, specially for what I paid. And honestly, It was just the RX8, the RSX and the RS gen2 and RS Spec were great ESC's that never skip a beat the whole time I owned them. But for durability, power and value.... will be tough to beat the HW XR8 Plus and XR8 SCT Pro.
