That's my thoughts exactly - Ifixit. There must be an issue with the top of the motor, or maybe they didn't clean the splines on the brake hub well enough and the dirt in the splines is not allowing the disc to float freely. It doesn't take much drag to generate a lot of heat in a hurry. I will investigate further.
