Default Broken motor tab: Repairable? - SOLVED!

Working on my Losi MRC and somehow I managed to break the tab off the motor:



The solder joint held, but the tab itself is broken off flush with the plastic end cap, and I don't thing I can get the soldering iron in the gap.

Suggestions? New motor time?

Thanks

If it was me, I would shove a copper wire strand (maybe ~0.030" dia) between the plastic and the remaining tab. Then, heat it up and flow in some solder.
Attach the ESC wire to the extended wire end.

It works just don't melt the plastic to much.
