Are you aware that you can buy heat sinks for the 360w and 500w Cyclone motors? I wish I could remember where I saw them but I can't. Maybe try looking on the Cyclone TW site or contacting them in TW via email. I know I have seen a writeup on the heat sinks and seen pics of them mounted on a 500w motor...very cool lookin. they are claimed to be a big imporvement for the heat problem.
