Sorry for length, and advice is appreciated.
Do you have a nice clean solder joint?

If you are sure of a good solder connection, then something is causing abnormal heating issues.

Check your bullet connections, then check the ESC itself, and maybe the battery.

Post a picture of your solder connection after you get the wire back on, and I will take a look at it. Its harder to verify a good connection just by a pic, but I can rule out some problems.
