We saw a few teams spraying :it onto the motors, and Volia, instant frostie. : on't know the name of it, but I saw some at Radio Shack the other day.Last year we used "Freeze-it" on our drill motors. It seemed to work well but we could never find that can when we needed it. It should be available at almost any electronics store. It's used to cool IC's, etc . . as far as i know. Hope that helps.
