Mounting BLX85 Fan

[Raffa]

I have a brand new 2016 model Raider BLX XL after upgrading from my old Raider BLS.

I've got a BLX85 fan (AR390249) and I wish to mount it but I'm not entirely sure how to do it.

Is there a visual guide or a video for mounting the fan.
Also will this mean that my ESC will no longer be waterproof?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a answer already? I have the dame qeustion.

On the blx80, the screws for the fan just thread in between two fins on the heat sink. No threaded hole or anything, the screws just get pinched between the fins. A bit cheesy, but it seems to hold fine. Anyway, maybe the 85 is the same?

Yeah as Dustin said.
I emailed Arrma and they told me it just screws into the heat sink. It ends up being pretty secure.

Take a look at my build log. I have a photo in there and I used some mesh to cover it and prevent rocks from going into the fan.
