You could try a MM just to see. I know you have at least 2.
I was thinking just that. The esc temped around 135, but those heatsinks are hard to get a good reading from. It was way to hot to hold a finger on. I may try a MM and send the sidewinder back to cc to inspect. Should still be in the warranty period.

Others are having good success with setups that should draw more load than this...
