I had this exact same problem and it has to have been caused by overheating making something fail rather than wires touching on there own, the wiring was definitely sound. It was 8 minutes into a 4wd offroad final on a 6.5 Thunderpower Motor. My fan also failed.
I had hoped it just meant a thermal, but sounds like I have a bigger problem!
If it has shorted is it terminal?
