With the smooth can the Rc-Monster heat sink takes alot of the stress and its solid aluminum so it can take it. In the end the smooth can with the heatsink/clamp is tougher than the 540C.

You did mention wanting to do some jumping and other stuff so I'd second that recomendation of the smooth can with the heatsink. A couple extra bucks for the heatsink, but in the end it will be more durable for you.
