I disconnected the battery before even thinking about it, and my mate just started ripping the wires out of it. The wires ended up about 10 feet away!

Just turning it on, then 5 secs later turning it off, it shouldn't of even started to warm the battery, but even after 5 minutes, when we came back after searching for the wires, it was warm to the touch. Must of drawn some serious amperage!

When I took it out for a run the day before it ran perfectly, then the last bit before I went home it was cogging something severely. Took it home expecting to find some rocks caught in the transmission but nothing at all.
Was this on 4 or 6s lipo?
