              Bob,
              I would recommend replacing the caps with some better Rubycon caps if you can. These are one of he weak points besides the cooling for the Castle controllers.
              I would also add a bead of silicone between the power board and control board to keep it in place.

                Thanks Tyler, never though of a small bead of silicone.

                  It appears so. I had to replace a Phoenix Ice 50 that had blown the caps for no apparent reason other than trying to run a motor and prop (14X7) which should not have placed any strain on the ESC.
                  I was only charged $50.00 for the replacement.
