If you were to activate the thermal protection the instructions say that it will kick in if the esc senses 205+ F for a sustained period of 5 seconds. If the outside heat sink was at 95c that should be around 203 F if I'm remembering my Celsius conversion correctly (this may be off as it's been a while, lol). With an outside temp of 203 F it doesn't sound like you were anywhere near the internal thermal temp of 205 F (if that's what the box is actually reading) so my guess is that something else went wrong. Send it in for repair. Even if you've had it for longer than the warranty it would still be worth getting it fixed.
