CIMs really should only start to feel warm after heavy use over a sustained period of time... If one motor felt "room temperature" and another felt warm in the same gearbox, it could very likely be a control problem where one motor was being driven and the other was coasting or braking. If both felt warm in the same gearbox, then there was probably significant wear in your drivetrain (gearbox is probably best place to look, at first).
