One more question: If the Banebots and Fisher Price motors are fan cooled, how are CIM and BAG motors cooled?
Thermal mass.

The CIM, MiniCIM, and BAG motors are all sealed motors with a high thermal mass. All this metal helps to absorb the heat generated by the motor, in the same way a computer heat sink works.
