The yellow is most likely just flux and yes, both that and the amount of solder is normal. Really, there is no need to have more solder than that; there are no gaps and the bullets look like they are firmly in place.
Right before I sold my Revo I had the exact same issue. It turned out to be the bullet connectors not getting enough contact. I stuck a small wrench in the end of the male bullets and stretched them out, worked like a charm after. Try it, it might work for you too.
