Why didn't it die?

[V0RT3X]

Was running and jumping down at the park today(grass). I hit a jump and landed badly and it did over 10 cartwheels on grass. Run down, flip it over - nothing. Guess the connectors unplugged. Open the lid, the connectors are together. Then I see the negative bullet on the MMM is unplugged (V2). With the bullet loose I tried to disconnect the battery and all of a sudden the neg. plug touched one of the motor bullets and a spark flew up.(no smoke) Then I started thinking where should I order my new MMM and if CC will replace my V2. I carefully unplug the batts and also the motor connections. Then, with even more care I plug the lipos back in(thought it would catch fire) and the lights come up. Plug everything back and it's working normal.

I was running 6S.

Here's what happened to the plugs that touched:





Now, shouldn't it be dead from the hit?

Maybe a little luck and good build quality.

I ran a MMM V3 on 10S by mistake until it thermalled. I go get the truck to investigate and see the mistake I made. Plug two 5S in series. Other than the TVS that is probably blown, the ESC still runs like a champ. They are tough devices.

well you very lucky and using either quite discharged or low C batteries... I did connected +- connector on 5s 3300 vx hyperions and same sized connector as you have there just dissapeared. No idea where, but I was like "WTF, laser?"

batteries survived just fine however :)

2x3S Flightmax 5000 25C. When I got home the voltage was around 3.7V per cell.

Funny thing is that my Accucel 6 died when I wanted to charge the second battery. (resets when it starts to charge)

Sheer luck, and hard-as-nails esc
