I’m starting a new thread about Lutach’s 6S since his thread is already 40+ pages long.
Well, I just ran the truck a few hours ago and it came to a smoking stop on the third video. Total runtime was probably 6 minutes. I apologize for the crappy video since my son wasn't too keen on filming the truck.
My settings:
LVC cutoff - 19.2V (default is 0)
Brake Force - 100% (default)
Drag brake - 0% (Default)
Run mode - Two2 (default)
Start force - 30% (default)
Timing - Low (default is middle)
Neutral range - 8% (default)
Initial Brake – 30% (5% Default)
Reverse Brake force - 50% (default)
Initial brake force - 30% instead of 5%
Neutral range - 8% instead of 6%
After opening the ESC, I saw that the capacitor prong was broken and shorted either the caps or the ESC itself. I tried averting this by shrink-wrapping the base of the caps to prevent them from moving but to no avail. I think that the flip I made at the end of the 2nd video led to the broken capacitor prongs which eventually shorted and smoked the ESC.
Here are some videos and picture.
First video:

Pic: It's hard to see the broken capacitor prong/s on the picture.
Edit- by the way, it was cool(70*F) and windy today. The ESC temp after I disconnected the batteries were 160*F.
