I don’t see an S on that male connector. Maybe you grabbed a plain xt90 male? Not sure if it has any effect but hey I did notice. 
Ones I got from Amazon.

I did use a plane tx90 male I didn’t think there was a difference.
I’m not sure if it matters. If you have an S one laying around I’d try that just to be extra safe.

U can also double click the drag handle and it’ll auto find end of range and fill. Cntl+D good too

@Battosaii the male doesn’t matter but the female has to be an “S” variant.
Would you photograph your setup and how the battery is/was connected to everything else?
Are you sure you weren’t shorting the battery out?

I had this problem once and ended up destroying my VESC
Doubled checked everything and there was no reverse polarity or wires exposed was just random.
Maybe a faulty or fake XT 90 S?
Definitely looks like a short and though it pains me to say it because hes been picking on me lately,
I think hes right on the money

No shorts I checked everything also this set up has been tested and ridden before the only difference was the new loop key set up I plugged in.
Do you have a photo of everything as it was when you plugged-in the loopkey? Or any photo of how things were connected?
I think the real question people should be discussing is how to prevent something like this from happening in the future; not only for you, but others as well. Was your cutoff voltage set too high? Or did you somehow have a massive voltage sag occur? When my board is about to run out of power I can’t even go that fast (or fast at all), and when it does cut out it’s in free-roll mode, so it doesn’t suddenly lock up or anything.

Open to suggestions.
