Cooling fan wiring?

It has a use, but only for 2s setups. But it is useless for anything over that

No I believed you, but I started doing it before you posted and I didnt read it until I had already figured out my own answer.

After the last pot I went back and tested it with 3s running only that little fan and it got up to 180 again. It just took a minute longer to get there. So I tested it on 2s and it still got up to 165 or so in a couple minutes. I really think that the thing isnt good for anything at all except for powering the esc brains, and if there were a way to bypass that I would do it to. The dang thing is just a little heater.
