Would there be any advantage to skinning the ESC to allow better air flow over the components. I'm guessing you could use some balsa sticks and mount them in the air flow and keep anything from shorting out on the component shims. One other choice would be to heat sink the drivers. I have a small CNC mill that I put together and the stepper drives can almost double the amp handling if they are mounted on a heat sink, even one as simple as a flat piece of aluminum. Just curious here.

I've got a a mini Telestar I got from a club member, to put back into flying shape for my Grand Daughter. These two incidents at the field got me wondering about the ESC's.

Thanks for the info.
