Well while you were at work I sneaked in your house and put fans on all of your ESC's!
The problem in Houston, is that with temps going over 100 very often and the humidity, I like to have extra air flow to aid in the cooling process. Just call it an extra insurance policy.
Funny story but true: When I was working with Baldor on putting new motors and control systems on my CNC machines, forced cooling came up. I do not remember the exact figures but with forced cooling on the motor and added cooling to the controller we could get about 25-30% more power from the system. This was all covered under warranty as well. It wasn't necessary in the beginning of the project but was in consideration for some future builds. I wanted all parts on all machines to be as interchangeable as possible so I could keep less spares (save money) and their systems made it work.
