Has anyone tried this fan:

Um...?

Exactly.

it works awesome! quiet to!

lol, I'm glad someone got it. :lol:

Brian,

I might have a solution for your problems. I just have to wait and see if it'll get done. Answer one thing for me though. If one has a product that can dissipate 2-3 times more heat then copper and with a little airflow (when vehicle is moving), would a fan still be needed?

lol, I don't personally think a fan is needed as it is right now. But, any extra help in better dissipating materials will help I'm sure.

I'll probably start a new thread about it when and if it gets done.

Not saying my set ups are perfect but the fan is something I never had a issue with ?
I have 6 M.M.M's and a few have ben in for repairs, 1 has ben in twice but never a fan ?

Is the issue with wearing the fans out or them breaking from debris getting logged in there ?

I race weekly on 1/8 race tracks w/ large jumps.. the fans just give out over time from the hard landings I suppose.. notice they just released a 'new improved fan' so please don't think this has been isolated to just me. Most people I know have replaced the fans at least 1x. They are just cheapo computer fans after all, never designed for taking impacts etc.

No accusations on my end, just curious.

Your "big jumps" on the track doesn't come close to the jumps I subject my trucks to.
15-20+ feet of air is the norm, and LOTS of hard ugly landings. I've killed a couple ESC's with these stunts but not the fan, go figure ?

Maybe you kill the ESC before the fan has a chance to fail? :wink:

In not so many words, yes.

i have always run everything fanless, the fan is a bandaid for a bad setup and its actualy makeing things worse by drawing power off of the bec

With learning from what I have (A LOT) from Mr.BrianG over the last few years I agree whole-heartedly.
In 6 different trucks my fans never come on, and most are on 4s.
