What's "extremely hot" to you? Obviously, as we get towards the 160-180d mark, bad things can start to happen. Do you have a heatsink/fan?
Not sure what the temp was but I could feel the heat radiating out of the body when I shut it down. I plan on running it again when it gets a little warmer and I can check the temps then. I didn't think the motor was too small. But I also do not want to blow it up either.
Also at this time I am not running a fan or heat sink. I can look into that if it is necessary.
