Fan Mount
 

I am not a master fabricator like many of you, but I thought I would share the fan mount I made tonight. It ain't perfect, but I am pleased with the results. It is made out of aluminum with a 5v fan plugged into channel 3 on the Rx. I blows a lot of air on the esc and motor.

Cool! Literally :)

Thanks Dafni.

Looks good! Stylish fan there.

How is the mount held up? What is it fastened to?

How many mm is that fan - it looks big - 60mm? - should keep things cool in any event...

I like that you even put the guard on it. Cool! Nice job. You may not be a master craftsman but you did nice on this. Hard to see if it is perfect at 30mph with body on it. The faster the harder to. :D

Very nice! It looks similar to the one im using, only difference is my fan is a DC brushless (12V)

nice work. if you could bend the alunimum a bit so its a bit closer to the motor. but its sweet

60mm. You have a good eye.

Thanks guys.

The ESC is sitting on a shelf made from a flat skid plate using FLM shock stand-offs to get it up off the chassis. The fan mount is connected to the holes in the skid.

UBEC is mounted under it with strong double sided tape.
