Question, can I just plug my vesc in to my battery and test it on the motor or do i need to set it up first?
You can, but you’d need a suitable test rig to do so.
By the time you’ve built a test rig, you may as well have just set it up on the board
I meant do I need to set up the vesc software.
you need to install it and connect your VESC
Yes

One of my xt30 pins spins freely is that a problem? I think its from to much heat
Its only a problem if it has melted so badly that it is making contact with the other bullet, or is pulling out of the shroud.
All of the xt bullets can be turned in the shrouds, except for the one with the resistor on it in an xt90-s.

if it doesn’t move back and forth, then its fine, all pins are able to spin 360 with the exception of one of the pin on the XT90S which has the resistor fuse to the pin inside, so it won’t spin

I am thinking about using velcro straps to secure the battery to my deck, where should I put them?

Between the battery and the deck.
Dual lock is some great stuff to secure things down with, it will not move.
I meant to strap around the battery to hold it to a deck.
If you have the space that’s a viable option
That’s what I mean to use it as, it’s for real stuff.
I like the regular velcro, it gives it some play so vibration isn’t transferred into the pack and welds. Dual Lock will transmit more vibration

Fiberglass enclosure with foam for the win; no Velcro 
IMHO.
If you have a thin ABS enclosure though, and a heavy battery, then it might not work so well.
