Post photos..
We'll be able to tell quick.

I'm guessing it was modified so it's not making proper contact.. Which leads to the higher resistance/heat..

Yeah that thing needs to be replaced. That connection is all corroded.

I agree.

Looks like it was driven through water before and left to rust by the previous owner.

A temporary fix would be to use steel wool to clean up those rusted surfaces.

Perhaps a tiny brass brush set to get into the inner socket area to scrub it out...

or

Then apply a tiny bit of silicone grease to help prevent further rusting. AND re-cover those terminals with New heatshrink tubing.
Otherwise you're going to experience arc-ing of your motor and Kentucky Fry our ESC.
