I've heard that if your wires are longer than they need to be then the resistance of the wires can start to affect the voltage (at high amp conditions like pushing match) that the motor is receiving by a decent amount and cause you to not preform as well.



If you do add a heatsink and it doesn't work as well don't forget to try it with thermal paste.
I would think that the dry ice would tend to freeze the lubricant in the sleeve bearings on the CIM prior to a match. You might just raise the current from the added mechanical resistance. Unknown what the expansion/contraction of the various parts under these severe conditions would be. However, bronze inside of cold aluminum around a steel shaft seems to send chills down my spine.
