Offroad racing seems to put quite a toll on the fans. When my fan died, there were a couple of things i noticed. One was that the coils in the fan motor seemed to have been rubbed to the bare copper strands and that the actual fan connector broke off from the board. I then bought a couple of 3racing 30x30x6mm fans off ebay for about $6 each shipped from China to the US, but the fan blades were a little small. I was fortunate enough to be able to fit the old fan blade right on and solder fan wires directly to the board with out issues. The fan seems to spin quite a lot faster now that I have have done the upgrade, but I don't know if that is a good thing.
