Can we get the New Cooling Fan Option on MGM controllers from Mike?
 

Does anyone know if New Cooling Fan Option on MGM controllers will be available from Mike? ....I will gladly take what I can get, fan or no fan when they come in again though....Fans would be nice

Sent the man an email!

As an alternative to 5v fans, you could use easy-to-find 12v fans and use a regular cheap LM7812 regulator to bring the voltage down to 12v as long as you are using 4s or thereabouts...

There goes your efficiency...

:intello:

I used to have on my Quark 24V fan that was powered by 16 NiMh cells and speed was about right then after couple rock got into fan I got rid of it and improved passive cooling - FLM chassis is very nice heatsink :)

:tongue:

Actually, it's not that bad as long as the battery voltage is fairly close to the output voltage and the current is around 100mA (most 40mm fans are around 50mA).
