Maybe you could use water cooling on a test stand and dump cooling for a test flight?

Water cooling for a small motor ( < 100 lbf or so ) can be done by just hooking a garden hose up to a double walled chamber. Even easier, just letting water fall on a heat sink chamber can greatly extend the available run time (at the expense of making a lot of steam that obscures things a bit).
