Thanks.
That wouldnt be the esc killing the batts directly though would it, that would be the ends of the wires touching and shorting, but the odds of them staying jammed together like that for more than a split-second are pretty slim.

As for the escs durabilty- just stick a zip tie around the case and that stops it from coming apart (as I found out). Mount it low as possible on the vehicle and you'll be fine.
