This is why I do not like to hear about velcro holding esc's down(not saying yours was) or even see questionable mounting practices.
I used two sided tape, and I made sure it was under the posts as well.

Nope, it was mounted far enough away from that. I also check to make sure the esc is still mounted securely every time I go out.
