Default RE: Cooling off an Orion Brushless ESC, or any brand for that matter.

The ESC does not put out any power, It is just rated for a certain amount to pass though. Wattage (current * voltage) is a measurement of energy and heat. So, naturally, if you decrease the amount of heat in your esc, more current will safely be able to flow though it.

This means that attaching a fan will only help you if you have heat problems to begin with.
