Not yet. My camera was dropped and I have to fiddle with it to get it to work. :mad:1
I'll try to get a pic of it later. The thermal adhesive I used is this:

The version I used has traces of silver in it (hence the name) so it is advisable to make sure none squishes across connections when you compress the heatsinks together. They have totally non-conductive stuff, but I didn't have any of that. You can use thermal tape too, but it doesn't work quite as good.
Whatever heatsink is used, make sure that both surfaces (the ESC and the added one) are smooth
and flat for best contact and thermal transfer. Like I said, I sanded the back of the ESC with fine paper, and then I almost polished the piece of aluminum I used for the added heatsink.
