I fried 6 ESS-ONE+ units in less than a month. Yes, 6! Why? I'm suspecting it may have a compatibility issue. With at least one ESC (Sanwa F2500, brush), it worked fine, but with two others including one brushless (G Force TS50), it emitted hissing noise and went dead when I steered.

I explained the situation to Asiatees, from which I got them all, with photos and all. They say that the very first ESC that got the unit fried ( KO VFS FR2 for brush) was "too powerful", and that my connections were wrong, but they won't tell me where. This is ridiculous. The ESC is one of the most basic, entry models out there. They won't even tell me where I got the wiring wrong, even though I showed them photos with clear annotations. The connections can't be wrong as they are simple and I used three cars with almost identical settings, of which one worked just fine. They sent me one ESS-ONE for free, though. But it also went dead in the course of my trying to find the cause.

Has anyone had a similar problem? Watching people having fun with it on YouTube, I can't help scratching my head and thinking I'm getting all the wrong ones!
