So what..... 2-4 lights on the temp meter should be ok?

Does removing fan void warranty? (If there is any left)
in your conditions maybe it's better to use a fan on hot days but passive cooling is generally enough, well placed holes/ vents in the body should make the trick

the esc will shut down if it's too hot so don't worry too much I get about 3 leds on mine just after a race and it's doing fine
