I don't keep it on full throttle alot either. Any help would be great.

Thanks on advance.

I think you'll find your crap at soldering

Heat up the terminal and use a solder sucker to remove the old solder. Heat the cable end too and once you see the solder melt give the cable a shake to remove the excess solder from the cable.
Tin both ends with a bit of solder, heat up the motor terminal and then bring the cable to the terminal. Wait till you see both the solder on the terminal and the cable melt then apply some more solder. Remove the heat, and allow to cool naturally.
Do not blow it etc or it could give you a dry joint. That should do it
