Yes you bet they should be vented. And so far unless I missed something - the lockouts are on the ground. When I flew my Python the temp ont he Rx's was significantly lower after landing which I attribute to good air flow. BUT if it is 100f+ outside that may not be enough.

I too would like to see some Spektrum/JR stuff heat tested. I don't have any of it so I can't test it...
