Thats the truth.

He has said it time and time again, The components of the esc have a lower resistance then that heatsink... therefore it will go through the board and not the heatsink.... Its fine.

They also said that if you were to get conductivity it would ablate the aluminum on the heatsink and may not burn up the ESC. If you're really concerned you could heatshrink the plugs or bend the fins on the heatsink out of the way. I personally can't recommend altering the ESC in any way as it could potentially void the warranty.

That's not quite what he said. The motor has a lower resistance than the heatsink. The ESC (hopefully) has infinite resistance from the + and - power inputs.

Despite all that, I still don't like the idea of the heatsink even partially shorting the battery TBH.

Same here that's why I still installed heatshrink on the bullets.
