Temperature measurement for ESC after running straight for 8 minutes
Yesterday, we performed 2 rounds of tests, the first was to test the effect of saltwater landings on motors. We found that motors dunked in saltwater after a simulated flight would regularly cause the ESC to fail after 2 flights. We also did some thermal testing of an ESC housed in a sealed carbon tube and found that though it ran a little warm, performance was adequate.

Couldn't find the test specs on the site, had you determined the cause of failure? 2 dunks doesn't seem like a lot for corrosion issues unless the timeframe was large.
