Not the most effective, but it never failed me. It does drops temps, but some other options might be more effective. more specs : fan is 30x30mm 5v 0.14A 12g without zip ties You're welcome
Bought this from a direct recommendation from the sales rep that helped me. I explained exactly what I was working with, how ever when I got home the fan would work, but when placed on my brushed yeah racing motor , the fan stopped. Pull it away from motor it worked.:: Pretty annoyed to be honest . Appears that my brushed motor is creating a lot of magnetic force that is causing the fan to completely stop. I would return it. But can’t because I had to notch the plastic a little to clear a mount location... I’ve been to the Knoxville tn store now twice, and both times the sales reps are all over the place. Either very under staffed or simply don’t know what their doing. Very unprofessional sales force .. Don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon. Not happy at all !
Lasted about 45 min then started seizing up and cutting out.
I bought this for a Team Associated PRO4 SC10 because of reviews that said the motor would overheat with a few minutes on a track. With this motor on I was on a short course track for a full battery and no overheating issues. Best $15 upgrade you can get.
It works, but it's weak. It's also expensive. I use a yeah racing dual fan heat sink for my holmes hobbies 4100kv puller pro R. Now that's a great fan... and motor.
Reviewers disagree on this 36mm fan shroud. One verified owner reports strong results on a Team Associated PRO4 SC10, with no overheating over a full battery on a short course track. Others find cooling modest, and one describes it as weak and expensive relative to alternatives. Two reviews report fan failure: one after about 45 minutes of use, the other with a brushed motor where the fan stopped until moved away from the motor, which the reviewer attributes to magnetic interference. The reviewer also says the shroud required notching the plastic to fit. Reviews are few and mixed, so overall performance is uncertain.
