It depends on your setup. If you're using the ESC's built in BEC, you could prolong it's life by buying an external BEC. This would keep all of your electronics working better.

Where's it mounted? I swapped mine with the receiver. So now it is sitting under the fan that's built into the drive gear, and the receiver is in the nose. It stays nice and cool there.
