High heat equals high electrical resistance. I'd question that new starter. Next time pour water over starter when engine hot and see if it starts.

If these are re-built starters then they are notoriously poor quality. I guess could be starter relay?? I'd still use the water trick to eliminate starter, then work from there. Did you say car starts ok with jump start fromother vehicle?

Do a load test on the battery when car is hot.
