      I don’t know if you’ll see this but I had a castle setup (2-3S Sidewinder and 1410 4 Pole) though I know the orientation of the 3 wires to the motor really don’t matter unless it’s spinning the wrong direction, one time I hooked it up and threw a battery on, and with my anxiety I felt everything just to check it and all of the sudden the wires to the battery/esc got super hot within seconds. Unplugged and re-oriented the wires to the motor and was good but it was scary, how dangerous it could have been.

    Kev, you are not a liar, this said up front. I have a crystal clear Opinion about this: If this dude was really related to Castle, then his post is a total PR disaster. First, people who know you for years know that you don't set up things like this. Second, 5% Failure rate of the first batch of ESCs? That's not even close to good. Even if the KV rate of the Motor that you are using is too high, it should not end up in flames. In the end it should be so safe and user (user error) friendly, that it is not blowing up in seconds. Nop dear Castle guys, the product seems just faulty and I am not sure what it takes to convince Kev to give it another try with your products. But what I know for sure is, that terms like "lie" in public posts about this issue don't sound helpful to me.

      I am more concerned that Robert@Castle would rather assume malice by Kev instead of spending a tiny amount of effort to practice good customer service by investigate the footage and showing concern for the customer. Is Castle always this impulsive with bad decision making? Is this cultural at Castle? Is it part of the reason their product was faulty because of a poor engineering culture that is held back by scapegoating?

      That is not necessarily true, he is running a 6s motor on 8s, using not very good lipos, and running 10 degrees of motor timing on a brand of motor that tells you to run 0 because they catch escs on fire. It might be a fault with his escs but saying he did nothing wrong is ignorant.
