Pulled the car in off the track and a good 20% of one of my bullets (ESC side) was completely blown off/melted by the short. It definitely touched the heat sink.

I will post pics a little bit later.

The good news is that this v3 has been working absolutely flawless, so no knock. I have lost count of the races and practice packs. It survived the short and I raced with it today with no problems. Even the fan is still working, but it never comes on...

Sending it back to Castle tomorrow so they can take a look at it.

I believe in what you're saying but if the manufacturer is telling everyone that this is not possible, what can you say .
