OK, I see. First, I would use screws to hold down the fan mounts. Just countersink the screws from the top.

As to holding the ESC down, how about a clamp? A piece of 1/16" thick 6061 Al, about 3/4" wide that goes across the top of the ESC and then screwed down on each side? Or maybe make one side hook under the plate and then screw down only one side? Then you could use thermal paste instead of adhesive. It looks like the mounting plate is very close to being the exact dimensions of the ESC (on 3 sides anyway).

Nice truck BTW. :)
