i found some 12v fans on ebay, cut the top off the case off, shoe goo em to the heatsink, and solder em to the bullets, they last a while, and if one pops you just rip it off and glue another, i have also used 5v ones and soldered em to the existing wires, in my experience they last longer not bouncing up and down

The MMP fans are smaller (25mm vs. 30mm I think) and don't work. Maybe only if you mod them to fit.

Does a 30x30x10mm fan work in the case ?

My replacement fan failed last week mid-run without my knowledge resulting in some 165*f temps. The fans leave alot to be desired.:whistle:

im running a 1550 kv on 5s and my fan just died the other day, so i cut the top off and left the open heatsink, MMM didnt get over 135 degrees, sweet!

I got mine from here:

You have to cut and solder on the old plug.
I didnt want to send my ESC in for a month to get a new fan from CC. And I certainly didnt need a new case either.

V0RT3X 09.27.2009 04:42 PM

Would these work?

I think mine's dead too, doesn't turn on and the bullets are hot(not thermalling though).

What's the MMM's plug like?

Snipin_Willy 09.27.2009 05:27 PM

buy one and let us know!
I'm getting tired of paying $12 + shipping for a fan and case when all I need is a fan.

I'm using what garcol posted.

Here's some pics pounted:

I found a place to get the 3racing 5v 30mm fans for $2.60 each.
What mesh are you using there in the picture? I would love to find a way to filter the air without impeding it.

BrianG 10.07.2009 10:28 PM

That mesh looks like the black nylon fiber storm door screening.

you know...I think I have a screen door with some of that hanging off of it :whistle:(I'm serious)

Edit: I'm going to order some of those 3racing fans and see how they do. All these hong kong place kill you on shipping but the average cost of a fan is still ~$5 with shipping added in. Worth a shot.

Yes, it is a storm door screen I bought from the Japanese home improvement store here in Japan.
