It's called a learning curve RVO. Anyway Jordan that lose connection probably caused most of your overheating problems, but you still want to start out easy with the gearing up front to see how it handles first. Then as you see the data (IE: temps, speed, & operation) you can gear up until you reach a happy medium. I do hope that you did not do any damage to the ESC.

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.
