Being on the motor side I'm not sure how noticable the symptoms would have been. It looks like the biggest part of your bullet that is burned off isn't even on the side of bullet closest to the heasink.

Looking at it again I also agree w/ your assessment. I bet if that one was a sliding out it and only had a partial connection it would have done this as well.. give it a try it's pretty hairy.
PS RYU (from comment above), you are dead wrong.. take a look again, if you leave the MMM in the stock form and use the provided castle motor leads the heatshrink on the motor leads are resting firmly against the top plastic just over the exposed finned area, making it IMPOSSIBLE for the connector to hit unless the shrink wore off those wire leads. I have looked it over several times.. and thought it plenty through.
