The cooling stuff is preemptive (spelling?). I will be running 2s regularly, then when I've got a handle on that I would like to step up to 3s, then when I've got that down (way down the road), I'd like to step up to a better motor (neu or the like) and run 4s... but I'd like to not have to make any more mods from one step to the next. I'm also likley going to copy most of this work when I start converting some of my nitro 1/8th scale RC's later.

The CC BEC would handle the fans and the steering servo no problem, I was just hoping to keep the CC BEC power circuit entirely away from the esc/motor leads.

I had planned on doing the small plate sinks on the "brain" board anyway, suppose I could get a cheap 4s battery on ebay now to test the heat output of the ESC BEC running the two fans (not running the motor of course) just to see if it get's very hot. They have some really cheap 1200mah 4s lipo's on ebay all the time.
