Will there be one to fit the HPI Flux (CC) Motors with that larger heatsink in the middle of the can?

How do you recommend we hook it up joe?

The blower plugs into the receiver. Pretty Simple :yes:

You can turn it on and off with a third channel?

I would think not, but correct me if I'm wrong here guys.

The three pins in the receiver socket are:

Negative
Positive
PWM Channel - Pulse Width Modulation

I'm sure the blower only picks up the Negative and Positive Pins.

If it's plugged in, it's gonna run.

I know there is a switch that makes it so you can turn the third channel on and off like a light switch.

Har har. :tongue:

That just looks like it is meant to be to me.

$12.99 is a nice price

Just ordered one. Anyone else?

Will it make my car faster?......:no:

The 3rd channel will do that with a servo or any other device designed to operate on 1-2ms pulses. But so long as the fan is plugged in and the receiver has power applied to it the fan will blow, regardless of the 3rd channel (or any channel for that matter).

Do you need 3 channels to power this? Like on a Flux? Does it turn on at a certain temp or run all the time? I'm intrigued, despite fan haters like Brian

cool....or cold, idea...but like brian...i still dont like fans

Contradiction?


Whats the flow rate of the fan?

Use at your own risk,your just covering up a problem. Not geared right.

Will the blower work on a non-finned original Neu 1515 motor?

There's a big difference between using a fan to make a hot, overgeared setup barely usable, and using a fan to keep a cool, properly geared setup even cooler.

Agreed, but some don't realize this...

If you have a batt port where bec or receiver pack plugs in and you are not using it you can run it in there.

u speeky no enrish two me!!!!! :lol:

would it work on a tekin t8 motor?

gear it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Castle, whats the official word on this, me likey fans to keep things cool despite what the fan haters think

You can run a fan off ANY unused port on a receiver.

They all have power for as long as your receiver has power. :lol:

its all about the plug, most likley it would come with a rx plug

I would say it's more about the voltage rating. The plug can be easily changed, but you are stuck powering the fan at the specified voltage. I would guess it's a 5V fan so it can run directly off of the receiver though, and it would follow that they would use a standard RX/servo connector. I don't see why it would be anything else than 5V.

very true, 12v fans dont spin very fast on 6v lol

It would be good for those who do realize it and properly geared vehicles. A cooler electronic is a happier electronic! :yes:

Will it fit the Tekno Neu 1515/1.5D/F? its 44mm and the Castle Neu is 42mm

It will fit my Neu 1515 finned motor.It fits 1-1/2" =1.50" =38mm to 1-7/8" =1.87" or 47mm the Neu is 1.73 inches or 44mm.I ordered 1

Damnit, upon closer inspection it looks like there is no way this will work/fit with the Flux from the chassis and motor mount design. Damn!

You guys that ordered one post up a review when you get it . Fit, quality, airflow. etc,etc.

Will do!

I like it, even though I think you guys took the idea from my avatar, lol. Next time I'm getting a patent. Fans are the only thing that have been keeping my 7xl from thermalling on every run, but ya in those cases they seem to only mask the problem of an inefficient motor. Ever since I pulled it out and converted it to a Castle 2200 I havent had to check temps any more and I just dont care. The Castle motor is leagues ahead in efficiency and power.

My CC Blower came in the mail today. I have to go shoot darts right now but I'll post pics and some first impressions when I get home later.

Yes PLEASE do! You know I'm really curious about these. :yes:

I would like to see something a little better than that "cartoon" picture they have. LOL
