Your only as strong as your weakest part. A motor can try and pull a lot of amps, but the weakest link in the chain will show up. Controller can and will get hot with the wrong combo, but does have whats called, "thermal shutdown" built into it. Thus, if it gets internally to hot, it will shut down. See it way to often that a motor is put in, not for the good of the customer, but good for the installers pocket.
Now you could get talked into a controller that has more amps, and that will end that issue and the issue may go to the next weakest link. Controllers do fail over time, but not the way you are describing.
