Yes, you are correct. I have not seen anything in their data sheet indicating what current they will tolerate with no cooling. The stall current in an application like a winch would be dependent on a number of factors (like the load, the gearing, the efficiency). I doubt that the OP has time before his first tournament to test for this so it is probably best for him to try a less risky solution than using the RS-775.
