The obvious suspects are metal chips, but the victors seemed to be clean when they are pulled apart.
Any of you have unusual victor issues this year, or have other interesting theories on blowouts?

Which FET's did you use to refurbish your Victors, seems the guys repairing them on the Battlebots forums are finding the matching replacements costing MUCH more than .90 ea??
