I had a 80mm fan on my HV and I used a computer fan the same size as the stock on on my ESC. I ran both fans off both main packs (14.4-16.8).

I was geared two teeth over the Novak recommended on my pinion and 2 teeth lower than recommended on my spur, and it still ran ice cold. It was pretty amazing.

I honestly think the HV is an excellent system with plenty of power, but that it just gets bogged down by heavier trucks and also needs some external cooling. But if you put a fan on the sucker, you can gear up pretty high, and the system has the torque to accelerate just as fast as it did before, and you get much more top speed out of it.

Also, since I have now gone CF G2R (which is alot lighter), and got the newer HV 6.5, which is supposed to be more heat resistant, I think I can get alot out of the system...

Sorry for sorta hi-jacking your thread - I kinda went on from the fan lol...
