Correct, a bit of moisture in a brushed motor will soon evaporate, but in a brushless the moisture is a bit more trapped and of course it contains electronics.

I used the Much More cooler for a while but gave up as if it was left running for more than 5-10 mins before a race I got bad stuttering during the run.
Next run I wouldn't use the cooler and wouldn't get stuttering.
I tried this a few times over a few months.

Just fit a decent motor/fan heatsink to the motor like the Nosram/LRP unit.
