My friend has the exact 8ight-E but it's build number 242 and he hasn't had to replace one ESC and I set his controller and ESC up.

I don't know how to drive like a racer so I keep the wheel spin and Acceleration down to a minimum, I even turned it down to the lowest setting on the ESC cause I agree it's pretty harsh on the Driveline and ESC (Burst).
