To say that this motor failure was caused by poor tuning is wrong and inflammatory.

Come on guys. A blown motor is a blown motor, no matter what was done. The end result is that it sucks big time. That's already a hard lesson as it is.

Wow I didn't know you got up to 8. I think I lost count around 5-6! Did you ever figure out what was causing all the failures?
