The back of the CIM motor is (mostly) flat, however most of the heat isn't dissipated from that location, but it does get hot after a lot of continuous use. Some thermal paste will definitely help instead of direct contact.
Anecdotal story: Last year the students were doing a demo, for several hours. Eventually the performance of the robot was quite abysmal. I noticed the motors were hot...REALLY hot. I took some damp paper towels and wrapped them around the motor...you could hear the water sizzle and evaporate off. So maybe CoolerMaster could make a water cooling block for CIM motors!
Edit: I see that Samuel had the same idea as me, and we posted at the same time.
