The RS Pro has more fet's than any competition esc on the market today. In an extremem situation such as the one you speak of we recomend the use of two of our RS caps as close to the esc as possible, with a small fan blowing onto the solder posts.

This is a picture of one of our Team Drivers Jason Moberly's TC5.
In your pic i see you have the fan connected directly to the esc. I was wondering if thats ok to do? I guess it is since your basically borrowing the power to run it. I dont wanna add more wiring by using a Y connector.
