Depending on the controller you have, and the amount of power you require, it might not put out much heat.

I have an Alltrax 7245 mounted on a piece of 1/4" aluminum about twice the size of the controller.

In my application, it is generally lightly loaded during cruise speed (about 6kW) and does not get much more than 20 degrees F above ambient temp.
