Faulty Trakpower?

[Mike.L]

Im using the trakpower method balancer, with one black balancing lead to the negative output lead, and the other black balancer lead with the 2mm banna plug. the third red balancing wire is to the red output lead. So i doubt there is any resistance in the balancer.

I wonder if this has any signifigance, but after driving the battery to cutoff, the temps of the esc is luke warm, motor is hot, (but you can hold your finger to it), and Surpriseingly, the banana plugs that connect the batt to the esc, They were quite hot!

Could be a poor soldering job inside the case?
