Wow, you really don't know? Well, many people here know I do not like fans. IMO, they are just "band-aids" for an improperly set up system. If the ESC, motor, and battery combination is chosen properly, everything will run fine. It's when things are pushed do they tend to heat up. And fans just adds something else to go wrong. IF a fan is desired, it should only be used in systems that run fine without them, but just to add a bit more cooling. None of my systems use fans (even my two Quarks, which are known for running hot) and they run fine with temps ~30-40*F above ambient with peaks no higher than 140*F.
