two fast questions!!!

i ended up braiding my wires and running a rx pack. ran 10 minutes hard no glitching. esc temps are down a tad. still burns to touch it though... the bottom is cool. but the heatsink is HOT. this was without a body too so it had plenty of airflow... other then a cap and fan now is there anything i can really do to drop temps? it still worries me some. and this is only the beginning of summer for us. itll go up another 10 degree or so and its already breaking 100 every day

A fan will be your best bet, or lower gearing... You may try direct soldering the wires. That could be causing some resistance and thus heat in the esc?!

You might drop up to 10-15 degrees maybe more with a good fan. How long can you keep your finger on the heat sink before it starts to burn? If it take a while specially after 10 minutes, I think thats fine.
