Default 98 ezgo txt smells hot

So I have noticed in the past that the cart smells hot while driving. Today I felt around after a trip to the pool. Nothing feels hot. Barely warm. Could it be brakes hanging up? Anything else I should check?

Check the forward and reverse switch and be careful.

Just got back and checked everything with the laser. Everything electric is 5-10 degrees above ambient. Back tires are nearly 25 degrees above ambient, front tires are about 5 above?

Can you measure the drum on the back side of the wheels? Or even feel it to see how hot it is?

Just did a quick run with just me on the cart. Similar distance and hills. This time the tires/wheels were not hot so that must have been from loading? Two adults and two little kids. I took the cover off the f/r switch. Backside on the bottom measured 130. Everything else was close to ambient. Hot spot appears to be where the power in/power out connects. Should I be concerned?
