I certainly thought about using a crimp connector... but the protruding bit of metal, and I'm not even exxagerating, is around 1mm. I re-soldered the connection and it seems more or less solid, but this may be due to the fact that plastic was fused into it. I'm also concerned about the kind of damage I might do to a motor while holding a soldering iron onto one of the leads for 30+ seconds.

Still frustrated,
