Works great while it lasts. Keeps the esc very cool on 3s without the random overheating shutdown issue. However, in the 3 weeks I've ran it, a propeller broke. I'm not sure how, the fan has plenty of clearance around it and no chance of it contacting anything. It may have just been bad luck or a random rock flying in since there is no screen on the fanblades. It still works though, just a bit noisier and with a bit of vibration since its missing a blade. Btw, it's not waterproof. Disconnect and remove if you plan to run in water, you won't need it. The water will keep things cool anyways. I'm still running it but will be replacing it soon. Just the fan though, the blue clip-on frame is perfect. Replacement fan dimensions are 30x30x7.5mm and esc output fan voltage is 6V. I'm going with the Integy high speed cooling fan (part# INTC22479)
Constantly breaks, gets jammed, not serviceable - is there an upgrade available? When it works, it works well.
Broke 2 blades off first time at the race track with it, nothing hit it, all my wires are secured with zip ties, simply couldn't take the jumps, wasted money here. I would not recommend. Amain is excellent in their shipping and getting your parts.
Does the trick! Keeps the esc very cool! Well see about longevity. I did get a body cover so it should stay clean!
4 months of use. It rotates quickly, then slowly. For this price should be better.
Reviewers broadly agree the fan keeps the ESC cool and reduces thermal shutdowns, especially on 3S packs and in hot weather, and that it fits and installs easily. Opinions diverge sharply on durability. Many report propeller blades breaking, the fan jamming or stopping, or failing within months, sometimes after only a few sessions, including on indoor tracks with little debris. Others report months or over a year of trouble-free use, including after high-speed jumps. Several note the fan is not waterproof and should be removed before running in water. Reviews mention the Velineon ESC Cooling Fan for VXL-3s and Slash models.
