Default Starter Box Question

I recently purchased an OFNA chrome top starter box from my local hobbytown. I've used the thing 4 times total.

Here's the link to it that I found: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/5429

My question is however, I use the starter box for a minute or so and the motor becomes very hot and loses it's torque. It will spin the motor but it won't spin the flywheel. My question is do you think that I have a bad motor in it? My plan is to take it back today, but I wanted to check to see if it is normal to run for only a minute or so before the engine becomes very hot and loses torque?
