I'm running 5S in a model pulling around 1000 watts. You're going to be pulling a lot more power (probably close to 1700 watts peak) not sure the MM would handle it - but it's definitely a trooper.

I run a small fan on the top of mine and find that's all I really need to do. Absolutely no temp problems.

Only issue I have is that pack can't quite be at full voltage or else the MM will initialize but as soon as you pull the throtle it'll cut out. Since I have 2 fans running in the model with the 5S MM along with the CC BEC, I just let them run a few minutes to drain the battery a touch and the power-up the MM and I have no problems.

Hopefully someone can speak to how a 5S MM will handle that much power.
