Most controllers will show an overload if you have a short , so I'd expectyou're alright there, and it's never a bad idea to check magnets and voltage at each wheel.

But I strongly suspect all you need is to adjust the shoes outward on each wheel. Adjust outward until they just begin to drag a little, then back it off one notch on the star wheel.

After adjusting shoes, I usually go for a spin where I can do a lot of braking so reseat the shoes, and then drive around where I can do as little braking as possible to let them cool down. You'll find them a little warm when you get home, but they should run cool once you've worn the high spots off the shoes on that first trip.
