I use that setup in my thunder tiger ST-1 truggy, and I like it a lot. I haven't had any heat issues when running that motor, and it's been used on some hot days. A day or two after christmas it got to 44.5C (112f) here, and I was doing speed runs up and down the street on 6s without anything getting too hot. I don't remember the motor temps, because they weren't high enough to worry about.
The hottest day it's been raced was a bit over 35c (95f), and no thermals or overly hot motor (didn't have a temp gauge that day).
Usually after a race the motor will be around 45c, and the quark will be only slightly warm. I use the rcm quark heatsink with 1 40mm fan, and no internal mods or caps.

It seems to be pretty good on amp draw, since I use 1250-1500mahs in 5-5.5 minutes.
