Best way to cool CIM motors?

After competing in the Australia regional, my team have found that our winch motors (two CIMs on a tough box mini) get quite hot during matches, as we have them running to compensate for the weight of the boxes so we can kept them off the ground.

What is the best way to cool these? From what I've read, the heat sinks aren't that effective. At the moment, I'm working on mounting a 120 mm computer fan to cool them. Has anyone tried this? Does it work?
