Yesp, not worth what you get IMO. There are ultimately three ways to deal with heat:

1: More efficient components.

2: Less current.

3: Heatsink with thermal mass and surface area.

Everything else is just adding complexity.

I have two Quark 125's that use the top plate (connecting the three diffs) as a heatsink and it works wonderfully without the need for any additional active cooling. The chassis is another good heatsink and gets lots of airflow. I just wish more ESCs were built similar to the Quarks in how the FETs are mounted...
