For point of not getting in trouble with my parents, I assume the glass would crack? I can see why people would look for ways to cool a motor down fast after a match, but even after playing some back to backs with "pushing" matches, I can't recall our motors getting too hot. Meaning they still pass the 5 second test. Maybe it's just the competitions I've been in.
