Don't run so slow. Get it up to speed. When turning low RPMs, motors draw a lot of amps. A lot of amps make things get hot.

I think it is

when i add a lift kit and 22" tires will it make matters worse?

Without a doubt. Upgrade to a 48V controller cart with a 400AMP controller as a bare minimum. Upgrade the motor accordingly.

I would upgrade to 4g cables at a minimum. I have seen carts thermal shutdown when adding a lift and bigger tires without at least doing a cable upgrade.
