Will there be one to fit the HPI Flux (CC) Motors with that larger heatsink in the middle of the can?

The blower plugs into the receiver. Pretty Simple

You can turn it on and off with a third channel?

I would think not, but correct me if I'm wrong here guys.

The three pins in the receiver socket are:

Negative
Positive
PWM Channel - Pulse Width Modulation

I'm sure the blower only picks up the Negative and Positive Pins.

If it's plugged in, it's gonna run.

I know there is a switch that makes it so you can turn the third channel on and off like a light switch.

The 3rd channel will do that with a servo or any other device designed to operate on 1-2ms pulses. But so long as the fan is plugged in and the receiver has power applied to it the fan will blow, regardless of the 3rd channel (or any channel for that matter).

I think you could try a battleswitch (www.dimensionengineering.com). We use it on RC planes and helis to launch bottle rockets and such. Problem is you need a separate power source for the fan (maybe another open slot (like the bind/batt slot on Spektrum) to power the fan).

My blower showed up today, It looks pretty cool . Im going to order a couple of 30mm fans for spares . I also shortend the wires off the fan & ran a servo extention cable . So i can just plug the fan in on the side on my MMM, with out having to route the plug all the way to the reciver. This will make it alot eaiser when i have to replace the fan .
