Heatsinks

I have seen the heat problem resolved on a few teams using a finned heatsink that works pretty well. It was contoured to match the outside can of the motor, while your at it add a small muffin fan to pass air through the fins and you are all set.
I don't know if it is legal but you can use a thermal grease to transfer the heat even better.

(Computer processors use the same thing and they get so hot you can't touch them.)
