Here's some fun wasting a few minutes, but useful I think :)

A typical small fan @ 70mah as BG tested would suck 70ma in one hour.

So let's say an average run time is 20 minutes for a LIPO/BL creation.... that's a whopping 23milliamp worth of battery wasted, which equates to about 6 seconds of runtime for a 1/10 car using (conveniently) 230mah/ minute.

My 1/8 buggy gets @ 20 min on 6000mah... not unusual. That's 300mah per minute.

Let's say I have lots of cooling:

Two 40mm 125mah fans = 250mah draw= 83ma used in 20 min. = 16.6 seconds of runtime.

That's not a lot, (1.3% reduction in runtime) but it does equal one full lap (out of 72 thoeretical laps) on a small track... but's it's worth keeping everything cool.

:) And remember a 70mah fan would only put a 4-5 second dent in the runtime, like 0.3% reduction....
