Here's another cooling tip.
If you take out the ESC you will probably find that the cooling plates arch away from the ESC in the middle & are not making contact. If this is so, remove the plates & bend them slightly in the opposite direction. Then smear a thin layer of heat transfer paste on all cooling plate surfaces that come in contact with the ESC & reinstall the plates. Don't over tighten the screws.
We found that the temps on the ESC dropped around 7- 10 degrees after doing this.
Even if the plates are making good contact take them off & use the paste.
I think you can get it from your local Radio Shack over there in the States.
All the best.
