I have run that way and had no trouble at all. The battery stop under the motor helps. I had a gap from the motor, it was small but air flow always helps. 180 is kinda high but RCHR is pretty tight and I came off hot there too. 17.5 is great sideways when there is traction.
If the worry is the long term, simply try some Al foil on the back of the battery. That will give some heat shielding.
