I have seen one catch on fire, this year. I don't think we ever learned exactly what the problem was, it had plenty of ventilation and the one we replaced it with never had any trouble. We might have just been running the robot for too long continuously.

The only other time i've seen a victor fail was when a piece of PWM wire broke of inside it and shorted something out.
