Actually not quite true. A motor seemed to consistently take out various SimonK-flashed ESCs in series 2. In series 1 (when I ran VESCs) it was the Mangled VESCs having the wrong (50v) ceramic caps and overrunning the eRPM limit pretty badly that made them die.
It's basically impossible to run 28p motors on current-gen VESCs reliably unless they're extremely low KV or you undervolt.
