RE: drive me mad
If there is still wire then you should be able to solder to it. Just add a little more wire to it so its not so short. Put the deans on the new wire first.
Just tin the 2 ends that you want to solder together then put a dab of flux on them and put the 2 wires end to end and hit it with the iron for a second or 2 and tyhe 2 wires will be soldered together. Then jus hit it with some electrical tape.
Soldering wire together in a tight spot is easier than trying to do the deans in a tight spot.

RE: drive me mad
Kind of difficult to see what you are asking us? You are unsure if you should solder the dean's back on? I would if I were you, find someone who can solder and it should be a breeze for them and take no time.
How did the Dean's plug come off before? A good solder joint is near impossible to separate.

You should remove the electronics that you are soldering from the vehicle.
Also take some time and watch this: [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYhmzY5wQAA&feature=related]How to solder Deans Connectors[/link]

Ya you should deffinetly remove the esc from the vehicle to do soldering work. You could end up hitting something with the iron andcause more problems.

RE: drive me mad
Another vote for removing the ESC.
Make sure you have a nice soldering iron, and a good tip. A marginal soldering setup will not work for Deans. Some can get cheap irons to work, I can, but not well. I have used various high end soldering stations at the track, and those things make soldering a breeze.
