The CC HV boat controllers are pretty rugged even without cooling. I ran a 180HV in a Baja on 8s and 10s with no fan or cooling measures at all and it never got hotter than 120F or so. I would expect a 4wd like this to heat things up a bit more, but the controllers are pretty rugged. People abuse the crap out of these ESCs in big boats with silly voltage and huge amp spikes. High end boat racing is as hard or likely harder on electronics than land use (these 4ft plus boats going 100+ MPH through the water is way more load than this 1/5 at 50mph).
