At the track yesterday, the esc lead going into the receiver, got caught up in my center diff outdrive and tore apart the wire. Took it to my LHS (family owned) and he soldered it back up for me. He also soldered my mini B motor back up. Got my esc back into the B74. He charged 45 dollars for both solder jobs. He actually got both jobs done within a few hours too so that's a plus. Should be ready for racing tomorrow if I can go. Also I had put the esc lead before the screw in the chassis brace so the lead does not move. I might unscrew the screw a little so the wire doesn't get pinched too much.

If you loosen the screw does that effect your motor mount?

BTW if you want to learn to solder it's not very hard and it's not expensive... compared to the $$ you have in to that. You just need a decent solder station and $5 in solder. Something to practice helps too. There are plenty of tutorials on line and even more people here that can answer questions. It's a very useful skill for this hobby.
