Oval , Can be just a little luck of the draw, I see either brand have a few failures...
So you know , I run way more than most do each week .
usually race 3 or 4 days of the week & I also practice on the off days....
I have experience no problems , not one with the Lrp SXX & SXXv2 .....
Many times I have seen racer's with the bad luck get a returned ESC from the manufacture & they again experience a failure.
This happens because they had a bad servo, receiver or just plain-O wiring issues....
So it is all to easy to blame the manufacture , when it was not there fault at all...
See this a lot BTW....
What I'm saying is almost half the time I do see a ESC fail ?
It was owner mistake , not the manufacture ....
