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 can tell you from experience that a lipo fire is SO INTENSE! You can not stop it for the first few moments no matter what. Thanks for showing this Kevin. I definitely don't want to burn my house down. It's the production lines not having oversight! Arrma had the same issue with their rear diff tolerances allowed. Castle makes great products but this 1 needs a recall and replacement along with a notifications to all customers.

People always tend to get protective when 'things go wrong'. I had a couple of XL2's blow with my installations in my old EMaxx and Losi E-Raminator .. they honoured their warranty then effectively black-listed me - saying I was over-gearing. It may be true to some extent, but with such a relatively small truck, cf them being made to install into Baja 5B's I didn't buy it. Later installations were perfect, and my 'hand touch thermometer' was constantly checking batteries, cables, connectors (always used 8mm gold plated). All sold a few years ago, but had great fun nevertheless!! X-Maxx ran on 8S with XL2 without problems. I had an EMaxx with modified chassis, LST2 E-Ram, and X-Maxx all using XL2's without problem - but had encountered ESC issues a few times. It's almost like 'a good one' is excellent, but that there are a few rogue perhaps batches out there. That was the impression I had - all water under the bridge now, and replaced after my selling on by the XLX2. Al.

The fire was about 6 inches long, and the distance of were the fire was and the wind direction would have gotten the tires on fire.

I believe you man... I mean it makes sense. I mean we just watched it all happen nearly again and then all you did was swap out the ESC and boom everything works with no unwanted side effects such as you know fire... its clear you spend big bucks to bring us entertainment and I've watched you call out other bad and good products as well. I have no doubt in my mind that you are bringing only the truth to the table. I love the fact that you test all these things and bash until something breaks. I have been out of the hobby for about 13 years at this point and then came across one of your videos about a week ago. since then and now I have watched probably 100 so you've brought me back into this hobby and showed me how much I've missed it. I'm poor as hell at this point as being disabled doesn't pay all that well but I'm gonna check out your Ebay stuff and see if I cant turn that around for myself somehow and in the mean time I'm gonna try to put some money together and cross my fingers and hope like hell that I can pick up a KRATON and jump head first back into this stuff.

Hi Kevin love your videos. I did however notice in the product disclaimer that it mentions that you should not be revving the motor and esc without a load in the motor, I.E conneccted to the pinion, drive shaft and wheel assembly. It did mention somewheres that reving the motor without its full load on is bad for it. Good luck with the monster truck build mate ! My thoughts are that you should have an official source come and inspect it before you fire it up.
