does it drive straight ahead with no adjusting the steering? if not you should "balance" the steering pot with a Curtis handset, as this uses the brakes as well as the motor power to steer, you may also want to rlift the motors off the ground, and run it a while to see if the motors still get hot, and if so, remove the brakes and see if it gets hot the same.
