How the heck did your battery become unplugged from a quick stop?

Judging from your description of the accident, I think you're lucky that the battery unplugged itself initially. It sounds like some FETs were shorted (shunted?) somehow and caused the truck to slam on the brakes. I think it would've caught fire with the body on had the battery not been unplugged. Which would've been far worse since the truck was probably some distance away from you when it happened.

Why is it that every one of these V3 failures has been a complete torture test of the ESC?
