Hi All,
First off, thanks for all of the suggestions. They were a great help to this rookie. I think I have found the issue, and it was a combination of two things. The first issue was the soldering on the motor connections. The motor came with the connections attached so I didn't get to check it out. The soldering looked really sketchy. I re-soldered it and tried it out. The motor sputtered a bit the first two time but has been working like a charm. The second issue is my prop size. Without a prop the motor runs perfectly cool. When I put on my 9x4.5 prop, it gets really warm, but the air flow from flight should keep it cool enough, thus I should probably downgrade to a smaller prop, or upgrade to a larger motor... I prefer the latter lol.

Again, thanks for everyone's help. Its good to know there are very knowledgeable people out there, and hopefully when I get good enough I can contribute a bit to this site.
