Ah, that good servo was a good idea then if you will run 5v instead of 6. Plus a high quality servo will last longer too. Probably a good purchase.

Keep in mind that as you raise the voltage and change to a more effecient motor the esc will most likely see a lower amp draw and run cooler. IU have found this and am slowly swithing over to lower kv motors and higher voltage batteries.

I used to have to run a fan on my MM (stock) with my 10l feigao on 4s lipo. I added a Novak Pwer cap (#5674 2700uf 25v) to the board where the power wires go in, and now I do not need the fan. My system is mild, but I had Griffinru mod a MM for me and it ran a 7xl in a 1/8 buggy that was geared for 40mph, and did not get hot even after a 40min run!

I like your idea with the heatsinks on both sides, it would be nice to be able to mover the "brains" so that both heatsinks would be able to "work" at the same rate. Considering that you will be using large amounts of caps, a small fan will mostlikely provide all the air flow you need. I am sure that your system will run cool, even with a higher draw 2s sytem.
