BLX185 durabulity

[grant1120]

Hey all, I'm about to get a senton, and just want some last minute advice/ reviews from all of you guys on the BLX185 esc. I know that this guy has a built in fan, but I'm worried about dirt, rock, and grass. Will any of these effect the performance of the fan/ the esc if anything gets lodged into it? And if so does anybody have any good home-made solutions to keep all of the objects out of the fan? Thanks for the help!

I have a Senton and yes rocks and other debris will get on the fan. I'm currently making something similar to what is shown in the following post.

No issues here in fact i have been running these in Traxxas and Savage products too. I really like them.

With the cage around the fan, you could go old school and wrap it in lady's pantie-hose. Air flows, but it stops most dust.
