I don't know anything about the GamaGoat but, if a brake drum is too hot
to touch after normal driving I'd say you have brakes dragging on the
drum.
Some possibilities:
Out of adjustment
sticky wheel cylinders
weak/broken return springs
faulty master cylinder
rust on the drums ( usually in a vehicle that has sat unused for
years )
Just some thoughts,
Frank
