Been running my 18T for a couple of weeks now with the new setup. I got the Quark 33A controller with the Dynamite C4 9200kv motor on a Maxamps 2100mah 3s. This thing goes pretty good but the motor gets a little warm for my likeing. Temps are running close to 200* on the high speed runs and about 25* less running normal. Controller temps are ok I think at about the 150 range.

I knew I could put a fan on the controller with no clearance issues but that's not where my heat issue lies, it's the motor. So because there is no room in these little cars I had no other choice but to mount it this way. As you can see, it actually hits both motor and controller. Attractive? No! Functional? Yes! Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do. I didn't take any readings yet but ran a few high speed runs yesterday and it didn't feel as hot to the touch.

Here are some pics.
