So heatsinking the hot side is what brings it down to single digit temps? Wouldn't that be a little too much on the motor or ESC?

Would that run on a 2500mah 3S LiPo?

yeah you can. they are available everywhere. they are also known as Thermoelectric coolers. www.newegg.com is one place. just google it

There are a whole bunch on Ebay also.

The boat ESC I bought has large heat sink on it...I could just lay the cold side right on the heat sink. Right?

You could put one on the motor also but you couldn't cool as much of the surface area of the motor since it isn't flat...

I found some that use 45.6 watts. How much amp draw is that at 12V?

I was editing my above post while you were applying but I think I answered my self.

If I am reading the product specs properly then that one draws 3 amps. The larger 136.8W one draw 9 amps.

That is a little less than what it calculates out to be...
