Default Have any E6 550 pilots seen the optional battery tray slip out of the lock?

I upgraded the pinion on my E6 550 from 11T to 12T last week and re-calibrated GOV STORE on the Hobbywing ESC. I have the optional sliding battery tray w/lock installed.

During the tail re-tuning flights this past weekend at the higher head-speed, the motor suddenly cut out and resumed, prompting me to land it immediately. The rear of the battery mounting plate had slipped out of the back mounts and was hanging from the front mounts (!)

It appears that the lock isn't that strong - has anyone else seen something like this happen? I fly pretty hard 3D, so I throw the bird around a lot. I've put many flights on it with the tray and not seen this happen, but that was with a bit lower head-speed than now.

I've never had a issue with mine. I don't do hard 3D but I've planted the heli a few times and the battery never moved.
