We were so glad that we had not fried the RC nor anything else for that matter.

It seems like those cables are magnetically attracted to the Victor power leads. Last year I did the same thing, and I seem to remember another team telling me they did it as well. Scary stuff.
Make sure all cables and power leads are hooked up correctly polarity wise, and when they are right, make sure they're tight! It'll save you alot of headaches later.
