I just decided to remove the fan from my MMM completely. All the jumps on the tracks that I run on cause the blades to break off and get caught, causing the fan to stall, which is the worst as it is draining current and not cooling the esc. Now that I run the tekin T8 1900 motor on the MMM, the fan rarely turns on anyway, at least with 4s. But I have found that 4s is all you need for this motor most tracks as you can easily gear to 40+ mph and still have cool temps. I've tried 16/46 in my 8ight on a large out door track and the highest motor temps i have seen in 80 degree heat was in the 130s. Actually the only time I've gotten this motor up to 140 was when I was running that gearing with 5s in front of my house for a full run, which was pretty sick. I would easily get my CC2650 up to 165 geared for the same speed.
