A hot motor usually means it is undergeared. If it was overgeared, it makes no sense that the ESC wasn't hot as well.

Also, running the motor to those temperatures might have reduced the magnetic capability of the magnets (intense heat does that), so you might be dumping more power into the motor than you would need with a good motor. Not saying the motor is for sure bad, just a possibility.
