Just clean out that plug and resolder it correctly and you should be fine with that. I would look real closely at the other connections as well. Then work on getting your gearing correct according the the recommendations from Lutach.

Sorry Jerry, i didn't see this post earlier great advice. I'm going to go with the recommendations of Lutach an BL_RVO and gear it for around 50mph. I don't think i did any damage to the controller, all the components look ok, i did stop straight away when i saw it at 180F
