Default Possible issue with brushless motor??

Hey guys,

I have a t4 which I purchased in 03 however recently I purchased a castle 4800 kv motor which I installed. Here is my question, when the motor has not been run it moves freely with some "stops". Apparently that is normal, however when I run the truck for a little and bring it back and rotate the tires it isn't as easy to rotate them. The motor doesn't move as freely it feels like something is binding. It runs fine though even when the tires are hard to rotate. Now if I wait a couple minutes the motor starts to move freely again and the tires can rotate easy. Is this normal or is something wrong with the motor?

My Castle 1410 does the same thing. I think it's the heat that causes the extra resistance. I wouldn't worry about it.
