Thumbs up Castle Sv2 , mount ESC fan??

Hey guys...

Ok so the SV2 has some big aluminum fins and no fan. Not sure if its really needed , but I want on on there.

Where and how should I mount? Ideas , suggestions?? Also, what is best to tap into for power?

What I did was get some Fuel tubing and put in between the fins where the screws will go leaving it just a tad taller than the heatsink (for extra cush in offroad) Then screw the screws down into the fuel tubing. Perfect fit have not had any issues at all except cooler esc temps!

Perfectt! Now thats what Im talking about.. I was thinking something along the lines of how a wall anchor works but could not think of what to use...

Now what about tapping into power?
