You mite want to try these.

I have been waiting to post on the durability of the Evercool fan till I had a few races on them and after four races both are still working great! The one in the CC Blower runs all the time while the one in the MMM only comes on after about 5 min. of running and in this heat sometimes in 2 to 3 min. So far so good!

George,

I'm interested in your long-term testing of the Evercool fan. Keep us posted! It's not any more expensive than the fan we are using now (in high quantity...)

We do have a new version of the fan we are using now -- they made some changes to the fan to make it more durable (on the electronics side...) but it seems there is some variation in the blade durability.

I'll talk to our supplier about beefing up the blades a bit on the 30x30 fan.

Thanx!

Will do Patrick. This is only the second fan in three seasons, not bad considering the beating these things take in a race day

My Blower snapped when I tightened the zip-ties too tight.My fault,but its not that sturdy.Can a cooler motor effect the ESC performance/temps?

Yes! The cooler the motor the more efficient it is, not to mention longevity!

I'll post up some pics after I have the new fan bracket mounted up. And I don't think it's your fault that the bracket breaks, plastic that thin has no place on a 1/8th buggy of truggy. That's why I'm making one out of aluminum.

Very cool! Good cfm and 5 bucks. How did they hold up to a good beating? The 40x10 I'm running on the Tekno is a Sunon BB motor fan and it seems to be doing well, but I paid like 15 for it

so what is the verdict?

As i am using the RCM UNIVERSAL motor/diff mount i can not mount my own fan in anyway unless i use the castle shroud.

I honestly thought the shroud would do more harm than good, but looks as if goodresults have been found. Is it worth using it but doing some air flow modifications and upgrading to a more powerful fan?

Thanks

Yes it's worth using, but I do recommend opening the bottom of the shroud between the ziptie tracks a bit to increase air flow across the motor and not by a huge amount but to where you have about 3/16 clearance off the motor. As for the fan the original didn't make it trough one race and none like to be ran on their side, so keep the fan as flat as possible.
This is a pic of the blower in my old D8, I think you can see about how much I removed from the bottom of the shroud.
