There is enough slop between the bearing and the plate that it will move enough to pretty much always get continuity. I hate it, I know its a cheap motor, but it really ran good. Now its got me wondering if it had been making some contact all along and thats why the controller was running hot.

If the winding isn't damaged severely, you might be able to just replace the bearings and go again.
It's not a bad, after a number of runs, to back the motor off and check to see how much bearing slop you have.
I'm sure this is what took your ESC out.
