What's the burst rating on the Hydra? I thought boat ESCs were like plane ESCs in that there wasn't much headroom there. I don't think you will need 180A continuous (will you?) but burst rating is important.

Your cooling idea sounds good. How long would the tubes be between the ESC and the radiator? If you're not using a pump they can't be too long... You might be better off trying to fit a regular air-cooled HS onto it somehow.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Depends what I do with it. If it goes on top "of a baja tranny I could just make the tubes and "radiator all in one and place it right above the esc in the air stream. Maybe I should just sell it and get an XL? Only issue is that i want to run 10s as I have alot of 5s packs.
