I don't know what a controller does when it looses power though, but if it looses RC it brakes as hard as it can.
I would never put my controller in that risc of a fuse. (how odd does that sound?)

Agreed 100%. If you simply rolled your car for a 100ft with no battery plugged in(but the motor and controller attached), I think you would most certainly blow the controller. The brushless motor acts like a generator(generates power) and with no place to put the power, the controller must absorb it.
