Can't forget the MM is a 10th scale ESC meant for lighter duty use and smaller motors, so you might just be stuck using a fan or adding more heatsink area.

Brian thank's for your repliy. I purposly did not use a fan for this test to see how long i could get, & i got about 8 1/2 plus minutes. Know i will hook up the fan & see how long i get . I'm running 14 cells. If it's the motor What fiego motor would you suggest ?.
