Cooling is critical. No doubt about it. Very important for long races in the summer when your ambient temps are already 97-100 deg F and everything's covered in dust! The final revision, of which I can't remeber how many there are (3 total including mine?) has every bit of vaning and cooling I could dream up in such a small space. You'd have to see it in person to see the details. It even has tiny heat wick tips at the perimeter of the diff cap. And it works pretty well. If I run with no slip at all, it actually cools the diff off below and a standard diff's temps, if that makes sense. I don't believe there's a clutch out there I can't fry with a truggy this powerful if I don't have the slip within reason.
I'd guess the same for the Revo clutch design which this slipper diff has borrowed from. But the Revo clutch is much more ventilated.
All slipperential users out there with heavy trucks and high voltage, ever had a meltdown from too much slip?
