These are made out of good quality for the price. The fan is really good and large (40mm) However the motor heatsink do not fit on Castle 2650KV motor. Also it does not fit well on slash 4x4. I recommend the fan but not the motor heat sink.
Bought for my EB48.4 without being certain if it would fit properly out of the box or possibly with modification. The diameter is larger than either my Motiv or Tekin 1/8th scale motors. Also it is too long to fit without modification. I trimmed off about 1/4" from one side. I then reduced the diameter by squeezing the legs in a vice. This reduced the diameter to just about perfect but it's not quite perfectly round which could leave some air gaps. The next issue is fitting it into the EB48.4. It fits but with the Tekno's smaller body would require substantial trimming to be workable. At this point I've determined to find another solution. Seems like a good product although perhaps best suited for whatever Hobbywing product(s) it's specifically intended for.
Great fan and heat sink. I've been using it for about 6 months on my e-Revo 2.0 and it's been holding up well for the skate park beats and dirt on the dirt tracks. I did not think I was going to hold that much punch. You should buy a thermal paste together as this does not come with the product. I live in Brazil that is very hot and even though the product fulfills the role of heat sink, here it is so hot that I already burned the engine of my 2.0 (after q I started to use, I did not have any more problems of the type).
Great buy for the price. Using on my castle 1515 2200kv motor. Requires some bending to fit the motor.
Very well made. Keeps my 1/8 motor cool, I only wish the fan was a bit more powerful.
Reviewers generally find the Hobbywing C4 combo well made and good value, with the 40mm fan singled out as strong. Fit is the main recurring problem: several reviewers report the heatsink is too large in diameter or too long for certain motors, including Castle 2650KV and Tekin or Motiv 1/8 scale motors, and some needed trimming, bending, or squeezing to fit. One reviewer with a Castle 1515 2200KV motor said bending was required. Reviewers disagree on overall fit; one said it fit well on a 1/8 motor and kept it cool. One reviewer noted that thermal paste is not included and reported engine damage in a very hot climate. Another wished the fan were more powerful. Five reviews is a small sample.
