Yes, that is quite normal. Drivetrain components get hot!

Not uncommon for a hard worked diff to get the oil over 100 deg celcius.
Racing temps of up to 125 have been noted in my cct car, but 100 is the highest that should be experienced.

ensure that you have the diff FULL of oil tho
if its lower then normal then it will heat up more
