I thought they made a 35 mm version?
Just watch the video of someone replacing the 35 mm dual fans in the x-max. I know the stock fan on the infraction is a 35 mm. Was just curious
Excellent product
Great review of the fans
thanks for the video! SOLD!
What truck is behind you, 2nd shelf down? Looks sweet.
Hey I was wondering if you needed to run a bigger battery to run fans
So i have a tp4050 2300kv i am Going to put in my felony, just curious if there are any cooling fan setups that would mount onto it?
Nice I also got a twin fan setup for my 4070 2200kv in my limitless. I have everything I need except the limitless, a y harness for the dual fans and my new receiver. Hopefully everything arrives tomorrow or Monday so I can give it a shake down run. I just watched you speed run tips video and really liked the part about breaks. Thanks for dedicating all the time and energy to your videos. I can tell you love the hobby and it is awesome you are sharing tips with the community. Thanks -Josh
Wich heat sink/fans did you used? I got also a 4074 Motor in my Kraton and im not sure wicht setup i have to get👍
@@leo0528 I used a cool kit from yeah racing. the entire kit is on eBay for 24.99 right now I will send the exact title let me know if you have trouble finding it.
Yeah Racing 1/8 Twin Fan Aluminum Heat Sink w/2 Fans (Black) (40.8mm diameter)
@@rcranch3838 Hmm, ive seen it, and it looks good! But the only point where im not sure ist the diameter. Because the old arrma 6s (v1-v4) got the 40mm motor with the cooling fins. that's why the old blx motor had a diameter of 40.8mm, but the new one in the v5 no longer has these cooling fins. that's why it's only 40mm. I think if I put the 40.8mm heat sink on it it wouldn't sit tight and slip, would it? But thank you very much for the tip
@@leo0528 hey there I used it on a TP Power 2200kv motor
@@leo0528 I just checked and I have a video with it on my channel it is about 25 videos back titled something like: Arrma limitless 8s max5 to power 2200kv
Will this fit on 2wd or 4wd traxxas 1/10 scale trucks?
Great video Rich! An inexpensive hop up with great results. Any idea how much power they use. Is run time affected?
Run time should not be affected if it is it's a negligible amount.
Hi when I installed these on my typhon 6s I tightened the bolts of the heat sink and the fans all the way down and it was still flopping around and didn’t stay put in place what did you do to make them stay?
Quick question
Can I run a 12v 0.6A rated cooling fan on a 12.6v 12A power supply or will it smoke up?
yes
Do u the link to get a Y adapter to hookup the 3 fan motors?
The app for mine doesn't want to work which one did you download
Pretty cool stuff. Powerhobby is my local hobby shop lol
I rarely give something the you must buy this tag, but for under $22 it's a bargain
keep ut good work! great video. wold be nice if you can explain the wiring - connection.
You'll need a dual jst connecter to install both into the receiver. I personally like the 2 to 1 connectors but some people like to have each fan on a separate Channel
I run this on my Kraton Just running them off a splitter to the receiver there a little loud but they offer great cooling my truck hasn’t gone into thermal shut down since my install
How do the plastic fans hold up to heavy bashing?
Lone Wolf I haven’t had any problems so far I have gotten some small gravel and stuff hit them but so far no chip bleeds I think you could probably figure out some kind of screen or cover for them that would definitely help
yeah you would think that they would include a fan cover. SMH! Anyway, what is wrong with having a larger single fan instead of 2 small dual fans?
@@joezepp9523 honestly I really can’t tell you that there would it be.
Space is a little limited there but as long as you didn’t run into any problems with it hitting the body or the tower support I don’t think that will be a problem at all with a bigger fan
Does this fit arrma big rock 3s
I’m trying to install Poseidon p1521-pv22 1800kv into my infraction and it won’t even slide onto the motor mount did you have to modify the mount to install it and how much did I you have to trim the steering post to install any helpnwould be appreciated
Jutamayo it should go in without any mods, you do however have to lift the rear of the motor to get it to 'pop' over one lug sticking up from the chassis, when it's over that lug it should slide in on the mount. It's to withing a mm of that front suspension upright. Make sure both top and bottom of the slider mount bracket are just engaged with the matching bit on the car then lift the rear of the can whilst pushing in. It will fit, it's one of those jobs if I was there I could do it for you in a second. It becomes a lot easier the more you do it. That 1800kv motor will fit though as that's the same motor as on my 8s one. So just engage the front edges of the motor bracket with the slider mount, keep pressure on that end then lift the rear at the same time as pushing it in (Still keeping pressure on the front where the mount is). I should say once it 'pops' over that lug it then sits perfectly flat in the car, it shouldn't rest on that chassis lug or be tilted upwards permanently. Let me know how you get on
Love the heatsink i personally am a fan of the plastic fans ive melted 5 or 6 over the last year. Aluminum fans by rocket racing with a peak rpm of 28000. Yes there a little more pricey but its worth the investment im crashed probably a dozen times these haven't even bent or warped and the car doesn't over heat anymore
Would it work on a typon 3s blx v3
u can cut small holes in the body too, for air flow , maybe small ones in the headlight area of the body ?
true but these are for use where serious cooling is needed but yes I sometime vent the bodies for air flow
yeah, i wanna get a solid copper heat sink, best metal for it.
I have a E revo 2.0 and I am trying to decide wether to get this fan for my motor or the Castle 2028 fan? Love your vids thanks
Omid hand on heart buy these, very noisy BUT They keep everything cool
Thanks I will
You should shut the fans down to get an accurate temperature of motor heat.
I think I bought the wrong motor I have the p1521-pv22 because it doesn’t fit at all.
So the wires from the fan plug into the receiver perfectly? No needed extras? Also what did you use to tape the wires together? Was it just tape?
yes it'll plug straight in although if you've a 3 channel receiver might be handy to get a Y cable. I used a bit of heatshrink to 'tape' the wires up. Slip it over the two wires. apply some heat and end result easier and less messy than tape
@@DriftomaniacsRC Will it work perfectly fine stock with the Dumbo rc radio receiver.
Can't you change the spin of the fan by switching the cables (+/-)? That way the cage can face the right way
That would work if they were brushed, but they could be brushless.
no, they just wont spin.
Just flip the fan over🤔🤔
Does it fit traxxas maxx 4s ?
It looks like the correct way to put them is with the wires facing you on top
Will this fan fit on the 1/8 TP motor?
You would need to check the dimension with powerhobby and TP as that's what I'd do.
Can install fans on the dumber rc 6ch in the wltoys 124019?
you will struggle to fit a fan in the 124019 due to the body, but the dumborc radio will run twin fans without a problem
Do the JST connectors fit right onto the ports in the receiver? A guy on the Arrma forum is arguing that you need to buy a "Y" splitter and plug the JST connectors into the splitter and then plug into the ESC.....yet another Powerhobby video shows a guy plugging the fan wires directly into the receiver. But supposedly the JST connectors only have 2 openings and the receiver port has 3 prongs for each port so you plug the JST connectors only onto 2 of the prongs instead of all 3? Is that correct?
Joe you can do it any of those ways (to add to the confusion) and I've done all 3 over time as well! If I can I just push the JST onto the 2 relevant prongs on either the RX or the esc power lead extender (not all esc's have these but the latest spektrum ones seem to).
does it fit on slash 4x4 fox edition?
you'd need to check the can size vs the fan heatsink size, this is 1/8th but I think they do it for 1/10 as well
For efficiency with shallow heatsink fins you want the fans to be pulling heat away from the heatsink.
I would disagree, you want them pushing the cool air in. The fans simply won't pull enough heat away on their own, and in pulling air away you'd only be cooling one specific area, forcing cold air in means that the air forces it's way out through the gaps throughout the heatsinks. Bit curious though as if you think differently WHY on earth are you watching a video on heatsink fans?
@@DriftomaniacsRC I would be willing to agree with pushing air in if the fins are deep. But they are shallow. It's simple physics. But we each have our own way.
And as far as watching your video, I'm currently looking at reviews on 540 heatsinks for my sons rc that I'm rebuilding and came across your video.
What slots do u plug these into in the receiver box? I tried them all and the fans won’t power on...
Usually you use a Servo Y Harness and connect that to channel 3, then if in fans the other end
Did you check that your plugs were correct and not backwards as well
Melbourne Exclusive I didn’t have the harness I thought they were plug n play...I ordered the harness...Thank you!!
@@MoriorInvictus1 no problem bro, I'm about to install mines tmmrw! Good luck bro
What type of y harness do I need
Receiver Y harness. You can get them on Amazon or from hobby stores
i dont think the blx185 can handle the power draw from two fans, when it got hot one fan which stop for a few seconds then start again. and a weird noise was coming from one of the fans , so i only use one now.
interesting! as ever feedback is appreciated, you'd have thought the blx would handle them, it does occur to me have you tried to ease off the mounting screws on the fans, if they're too tight then the blades may catch, I had to back mine off a bit when testing them, Hope that helps
@@DriftomaniacsRC ok i will give it a try thx!
hope it helps. When I fitted mine first time they were both erratic and I ended up turning them through 90 deg on the mount and re-screwed them back down and they ran okay. They are brilliant for the $'s though, keeps my 8s traxxas rally and my twin motor 16s infraction cool even in warm CA!
@@DriftomaniacsRC yes they are awesome , i hope i get um both going.
will that fit on the hobbywing 4985 1650kv?
you would need to check the spec with power hobby
Has anyone found this out yet?
Wow I didn't think 84 was hard at all my limitless was running at 120
Hi, will this fit on my Tekin 2050KV fitted to my TLR 8XE?
You should check out the exotec fan mount and wild turbo fan. I personally have had better luck than with the power hobby ones. The power hobby kept snapping on jumps.
this is fitted to my infraction so I should be okay on the jumps! But thanks for the feedback as real world feedback is always much appreciated. However this does what I want at a very good price, although I am interested as to how it snapped as it's metal and cant see the motor flexing enough to break the plastic fans. I'm intrigued now I think about it!
@@DriftomaniacsRC I believe it snapped from the slapping of metal on metal. It was hard landing from 10ft high on concrete. Metal chassis metal fan mount and plastic fans. Pretty sure it was just the shock.
The only downfall is why doesn't it come with the adapter I don't know what to look for
your fans are upside down.. as you learn with building computers, fans will ALWAYS blow TOWARDS the brackets holding the middle part on.. so you have the fans sucking from the motor blowing upwards
edit:.. i shouldve waited 10 seconds longer to post that. lol. you figured it out.
I was just about say that! No worries
OK so there's a difference of 11f.
Without the fans the motor ran 11f hotter, that like 3 Celsius.
Hardly worthy of note.
50f? long sleeve shirt or hoodie, 61f? shorts and tshirt. These work well in reducing the temps, if you want to suggest another solution or do your own fan test we've not a problem with that. Although doing a fan test would mean leaving the armchair and that's not happening is it?
@@DriftomaniacsRC relax bro, i have the exact same fans, so i know exactly how well they work, and its not a massive difference especially when your putting your foot to the metal.
try game changers turbo fans for temps upto 35% lower, which really makes a difference
ps, keep up the good work, your videos are appreciated.. but please be open to constructive criticism, from RC guys (like me) who have been doing this for almost 20 years.
Thanks .
@@1521joe After only running the motor for 3 minutes, I would say that an 11 degree difference is significant. 3 minutes is not a lot of time to generate heat.
@@christmashorse4548 After installing 2 of these on my Losi Truggy and Arma V5, i think i know what im talking about.
thanks.
3 mins?? well imagine running for 15mins, how effective are those fans then?
