After seeing some threads about thermals, would adding a clip-on heatsink be a good idea when running a brushless motor? Or even better, a clip-on heatsink with a fan (http://cgi.ebay.com/3Racing-Motor-Heat-Sink-w-Side-Cooling-Fan-540-Motor-TI_W0QQitemZ120024050241QQihZ002QQcategoryZ34063QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)?

Even though Castle Creation's site claims the Mamba Max ESC doesn't need additional cooling, be a good idea to somehow mount a fan above the ESC's heatsink?
