Patrick, wouldn't the cooling plates being aluminum act as heatsinks in themselves? Then a fan blowing over them could help as well...

Better idea --

Wait for the Phx-ICE-160HV. It's an air-cooled monstrosity. We ran one today on a Neu 2230/1Y at 260A for two minutes. We had to run TWO SETS of 6.5mm bullets, because they kept desoldering themselves. We also had to water cool the motor (big pump driving ice water from a 5 gallon bucket through a cooling jacket on the motor...)

After two minutes of this abuse, the controller reached its over-temp limit and shut down -- but in that time it had devoured 8.6AH of charge from the batteries.

It should handle pretty much ANYTHING you can throw at it.
