Patrick said that they could not duplicate the short in this case, and hadn't witnessed it.

Personally, I would not even consider running a controller that has this potential issue beyond initial testing - I would address it before any extensive driving. I don't care who says its OK - it looks like a short waiting to happen. I suppose if(when) it does short, it will be covered by warranty, but the batteries won't be covered(or the chassis and melted Lexan body). Just my opinion based on 8 or so years of brushless car/truck use. :)
