Let me ease your mind (well it won't but I'll try lol) stuff happens. We've all had our fair share of that. When it comes to this hobby, sometimes your lucky for a long while and sometimes not. My theory is, maybe the esc was stressed before and it was just on the verge of going and when you plugged the battery in it finished it off. I've flipped a boat and the esc went out. More than one. $300 escs. No smoke, just a flip. What we are doing is very hard on electronics. Think about how hard it is for you to run (yes run like your running on land) in water. You can't. Imagine all the drag forces on a boat. I had a $400 esc blow up (like an explosion!) on me when I put the boat in the water and started to take off. It moved maybe 5 feet and boom. Nothing changed in that setup, been running for over a month. So moral of the story....stuff happens man.
