Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
what's the ESC timing set to? my personal preference with the Avroto motors is Medium. Ben's question about the batteries is perfectly reasonable also.

My Hexa weighs 4kg which is heavier than yours and with 11x4.7 APC props is hovering at 40 amps which is 5 amps lower than your yours. Im using 40amp plush esc's but your 30's should be fine. Mine are not even luke warm when hovering.
Are you flying in very hot conditions?. Have you checked that all your motors are spinning freely?. Could there be any physical resistance on the motors causing them to pull too many amps? Low timing should mean cooler esc's as well.
