No, not necessarily... these motors have different efficiencies at varying torque and speeds. You have to gear them correctly, or else they get too hot.

To under geared, they spin at max rpm too much and that causes heat from too iron losses. Better motors such as LMT, and the Neu's don't suffer as much from this problem.

Too under geared, and they draw too much current (with a happy trigger finger), and will cause too much heat in the form of resistance losses, the more current you draw, exponentially more heat you generate.
