"Extremely hot" is somewhat subjective, but "too hot to touch" is less so. Do you have access to a handheld IR temperature gun? If not, try wetting you finger - just like Mom used to do to see if her iron was hot - and briefly touch them to see if they sizzle.

Your tires are pretty big. Which upgrade package did you install? Also, what are your driving habits as far as passengers, hills, load (rear seat, cargo), duration, etc. Also, probably wouldn't hurt to know the age and at rest voltage of your batteries, and whether you charge them after every use. Anything else you can think of.

Did you reinstall the old controller cover? If so, did you modify it? Check temperature on the controller when it stalls. Do you have a laptop and cable to connect to the controller? If so, it can tell you its temperature.
