How in the world did a spark from a 5s break your Anderson connector?

Glad to hear your motors are fine though.
Think it was a 30amp connector, only tested it with the three speed controllers... no motors plugged in. Massive spark and the inner bit has vanished with a nice melted plastic patch on the outside. Father-in-law thought it might be charging some capacitor in the esc's....?? I just looked blankly at him and nodded! lol. Annoying, as it was some of my best soldering work to date....... ordered a 175amp Anderson now. if its too big I can use for the heavy Luna-tic anyway.

drilled the screws out and once it bit, they came straight out. can't use them again, but I don't plan to anyway.
