MMM fans keep failing

[jzemaxx]

Hey guys I keep having MMM fans failing on my buggy. I have yet for one to fail on my E-revo, or any of my brushless 8T 2.0's. But I have already had 2 fail on my 8B 2.0 buggy and I have only ran it twice. I can only think that maybe in a buggy they take a little more beating from chassis slap?? Either way are any of you guys having the same problem, and what is the fix. Tired of ordering new fan/cases.

I'm wondering how you have it mounted? Not sure that it can be applied to you, but I tape my esc in my E-revo, my buddy uses the mount.He had a fan go out and mine hasn't. But we discovered the other day, if your fan stops working, a 20ft jump off the nearest dirt pile tends to get it working again. :) Have you tried giving them a tap?

Yeah. When I plug the batts in it doesn't even twitch. Tired of these fans...

So how is it mounted?

Its mounted using the Losi conversion kit. Sits on the ESC mounting plate with double sided tape.

thats how i mount mine, works fine.

mine doesnt spin when it starts up...

Unplug the wire leading to the receiver and turn on the controller. the fan should spin

i use a foam pad under the esc now. i broke one just the other day jumping. seems to be alot more forgiving now

find some high quality 30x30x7mm 5V fans, solder AND GLUE the wires, now you can run it for some period of time.

My 3 MMMs' fans failed one by one, with broken blade\ coil \ wire.

If something was not designed bullet proof, you have to make it to be.

Odd, my stock is still going strong. Don't let Brian G see this thread, or he'll never let up.

Has this question been asked:

Whether the newer fans on the MMPro, which are supposed to be durable as hell, work in the MMM case and plug?

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 ?

[jzemaxx]

Good questions......if they are I need some ASAP lol. Have a big race coming....

hopefully Patrick can chime in here and if so when we could purchase some fans from CC.
