Yeah, now that you mention it I seem to recall that the V3's with sockets are older V3s, but the later revised PCBs all have hardwired battery plugs.
Sounds like a problem with the brake setting though, I hadn't realised the lockup thing.
What remote were you using? I was pretty stupid for overlooking this, but I had forgot to calibrate my futaba tx, and it was doing the locking up thing.
Turned out that from the ESCs perspective, I was driving around in reverse (at 50%) and hitting the brakes on the tx was just sending the esc into full throttle forward. Certainly not a good idea. Make sure you reverse the throttle channel on futaba Tx, then recalibrate ESC.
