Thanks @drifter2!

The motor is completely new out of the box from RevoSLot so it hasn't seen a lot of use. But faulty parts from factory is not unheard of. I did run it as an analog for about 30min before starting to convert it and can't recall it becoming excessively hot. 

I'll make sure to do a bench test as you recommended to make sure. What amperage should I be expecting here? I can't find any data online on the RevoSlot motors but I do have a couple of similar motors I'll compare with.

Also as you can see in the original picture I only have one 'ferrite man' and for the next step I will make sure to add a 2nd one on the motor side.
