I can't comment fully , but i have run my R1 Pro with 35v cap and external bec in my X2 truggy with no problems , set up similar to yours 5s , Medusa 1600kv motor. However it was winter over here and i only ran it a couple of times for around 10mins each time and heat was no issue .
Didn't want to push it fully as i bought the R1 to run in my buggy which is on it's way ( Hot Bodies D8) but while waiting for my MMM v2 to arrive i thought i would give it a little run in the truggy .

If you could get a fan on it i don't think you will have any problems . You could use a piece of thin alloy mount the R1 Pro to it then bend it up to face the solder tabs , then attach a fan to the alloy which is facing the solder tabs ( nearly did this in the truggy while waiting forever for the MMM ) .

im going to have to order one and see what i can do

Is the power cap in Mikes Store good for the R1 Pro running 5S 1512 2.5D?

Id run 2 of those I am running a single 2200mfd. I think Mike is using a single 1800mfd.

Not easy to do. Just find a way to mount it so it blows on the solder posts. It probably wont be attached to the esc itself. More likely attached to something else and pointedat the esc. Not much room to work with mounting on the little guy.

Would one of these work?

No good , you need a 35v and at least 1800uf .
I posted a link which i can't find for you
Get the 35v cap from Jaycar , they only come in 1000uf so buy two and run them in parallel for 2000uf , make sure it's the low esr radial cap when you ask


Mounting a fan , just bend a piece of thin alloy 90o .Place the esc on it and then face the bent bit towards the solder posts , mount the fan to this and you will have it blowing at the solder posts .

You can make the bottom part of the alloy a bit wider and drill some mounting hole in it while having the esc attached to the alloy some how , maybe double sided tape and a zip tie for security .

How do you compare MMM to R1Pro? Drive feelings? I can see you have both of them.

Alot of people say the R1 Pro has smoother throttle

R1 is smoother and has much better brakes going by guys who have used both .

Yep.

The best way I can describe it is the R1Pro just feels more precise.
