Default Traxxas EVX-2 Wont Shut OFF

I'm using 2-2s lipos with my new EVX-2 LVD and when they hit around 3.6v the ESC will flash red and cut power so I know it's time to stop. All good there.

The problem is, that I cannot shut it off without unplugging the lipo's. It will flash red, power is reduced and I can still drive it.. just can't shut it off without a disconnect. The button does nothing, I've tried holding it for 30 seconds, still will not shut off. Is this normal?

No idea if it's normal but leaving batteries plugged in is NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Maybe Traxxas is tired of fielding complaints about puffed batteries from people leaving them plugged in.
