And after your mod it, should i run a fan on it power by the Rx or you can run it without fan??

Well, it depends. If you're racing and can't afford downtime due to a bad BEC, then mod it right away. If you're just bashing, then you don't lose anything by waiting until if/when it does go bad. You may luck out and never have a problem.
Either way, this mod ONLY addresses the BEC issue. It will NOT affect if the ESC decides to smoke or not - that's usually caused by something else entirely.
Also, be aware that if your external BEC blows for whatever reason, it will affect the ESC too (since the brains run off the BEC). We are assuming that the external BEC will run perfectly, but some do develop problems.
