Not uncommon. Talbot took out a brand new Traxxas in one of his latest vids. The ESC died in less than a few minutes, and he hadn't even started to drive it hard. You'd think they'd get sick of replacing warranty stuff.My TRX4 Sport w/Traxx had never seen anything but the inside carpet, when the ESC stpped working. Then, and I am not even kidding, not one minute after finishing the new ESC install, on it's maiden voyage, the servo stopped working. Upgraded the servo, but replaced the ESC with the exact same one (Traxxas sent me a new one, after having me send in the bad one for them to confirm that it was the ESC that failed so quickly). Both have been trucking along ever since, not even a hiccup.
