I've done it and it seems to work, but I haven't done a side-by-side comparison to get exactly how much better it is. With the thermal goop, the heatsink actually feels hotter (because it is more efficient at pulling the heat from the motor). Plus, it's a little messy as it attracts dirt where some squeezes out the sides a little.

IMO, if the motor is getting too hot, it is either overloaded (by too much voltage & current, or truck weight) or needs to be geared differently.
