Not sure why you'd want to? Air cooling is much more efficient in this application.

TEC = power hog. TEC's are great if cooling something below ambient improves performance.
Water block needs water, pump, radiator, which will use more power and add a hell of a lot of weight.
Correct. It would be more for show than go, I just think TEC's are really cool! You'd only need to run about 50-70W through it to keep it nice and chilly. That kind of power is nothing compared to the power that would go through the ESC at ultra-low temperatures. I only suggested the idea because of the single FET board, which makes it possible.
