I have two Quark 125's that use the top plate (connecting the three diffs) as a heatsink and it works wonderfully without the need for any additional active cooling. The chassis is another good heatsink and gets lots of airflow. I just wish more ESCs were built similar to the Quarks in how the FETs are mounted...

So if the extra power consumption wasn't a big issue then the quark would be one of the better esc's to try this on, right? Mount the plate between the esc and chassis. Like you said, it just transfers the heat and the chassis has thermal mass with lots of surface area and lots of air flow.
I can't see it benefiting other esc's like the mmm, rx8, hw150...etc without having to modify the casing.
But if you do work something out, we'll need to see pics
