hi bud i take it that it gets very hot then does the armature spin freely in the can?also what car are you running it in and what gear ratio spur pinion.

just a thought but maybe your just not getting a good solder joint, use some flux paste on both ends your soldering... i had my brushed motor reach 120 degrees and the joints never came unsoldered,

been doing that for years never had it happen before
Do's the motor need skimming and new brushes? if so that can generate heat if the gearing etc is ok and sticky brushes can cause excessive comm wear quickly and heat:)
