Any piece of aluminum you can attach to the back o the ESC will help soak up some of the heat generated. Try an old computer heat sink and some thermal paste. That seems to be what most are having sucess with. And alot of computer heatsinks already have provisions to mount a fan.

I'm actually working on the same project right now. While you are disapointed in the fact that you have to do it, just be glad that the Quark is acually pretty easy to d it with. An nice flat aluminum back on the case. Adding additinal heat sinking to the BK warrior ESCs is much more dificult cuz theres no where to mount it.

I just got these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=020

2 of them side by side is an almost perfect fit onto the back of the Quark 125. Then I'm planning on mounting a 40mm fan in the middle. If that dont do it... nothing will.
