Burned by that issue also. It will take alot of convincing (or a mandatory rule) to use CAN again. Issue disappeared with PWM. We have had good results with the newer Jags the last two years, and will likely continue to use them.

We blew up a few Jags during testing the first (Lunacy) year, and switched to vics before ship, but post season testing proved they were static-electricity issues. Slick wheels on Regolith built up a charge like a Van der graaf generator.
