Here is my solution. See picture below.
I'm pulling the dead fan and strapping a 25mm fan to the top over the fan hole and letting it blow into the case. The 25mm fans I was using on the MM and R1Pro are much more robust. I wish I could remember where I got them. I bought a lot of 10 for a good price like a year ago adn now I cant remember where I got them. Anyway, the 25mm fan moves more air than the 30mm fan that came with it. I can feel stronger air flow comming out the side vents of the MMM than with the stock 30mm fan.
Not pretty, but it works.

jhautz - dude, I love the new look . . . it's like the Abe Lincoln of ESC's!
Good solution though. And I would have to agree with Brian's direction about the poll. More options would be nice, but I guess it still accomplishes the goal - people talking about it.
My failure wasn't due to anything like the BEC or the fan - it was because my casing came apart every time I wrecked and eventually a wire separated from the board. So I would agree with the comments on the casing. I think it needs a revision. I would love to see it be basically like the old Mamba Max with the solid casing at the bottom and the exposed heat sink. Or something like the MGM which allowed you to secure the whole unit with threaded holes at the heat sink. I loved that setup.
