Dead V3 - Kill the ESC Fan! - 11.04.2008, 10:16 AM

Well make that 4 dead V3’s. I had two V3 and the first died after 4 or 5min on the track. I think the fans are causing a lot of the failures. So I removed the fan from the second one and ran it. It has now lasted trough about 15 batteries. I’m hoping it keeps up. We need to really push the manufactures to remove the fans from the ESC. Fans are a major problem. If it means running 22.2 volts, then remove the fan and set the ESC specs at 22.2volts.
