I am using Sunnysky v5208-340kv with 17" props. I usually pull ~8-10A per motor on hover. Max current I ever measured was 20A per motor. My guess is that mechanical vibrations caused the capacitors to detach. However, it is rather strange that it only happened to me. If this was a bad design -...

I found out after my hexa-rotor crashed . When I checked the damage, one of the engines stuttered. It turned out it was because of the ESC. The only obvious damage to the ESC were the capacitors.

Any second thoughts about these ESC's? I recently discovered 2 broken capacitors on one of my x-rotor 40a-opto ESC's by Hobbywing. They barely flew 10 hours. Is it just a bad luck, or a bad design?
