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).

I just orderd the castle blower for my ERT . My temps are fine with out it . But a little cooler never hurts electric componets .

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 .

I just received 2x CC Blowers and i feel robbed


On the picture that Castle show's on their website http://www.castlecreations.com/products/cc_blower.html it looks like it's made from alloy and looks good.

The real CC Blower is made from very cheap plastic and looks like crap.

----

When you look at the top of the fan it looks like there are grooves op top of the fan for extra cooling.


The real CC Blower has a sticker on it with white stripes that looks like grooves for extra cooling.

----

When you look at the picture of the CC Blower you didn’t see a wire for the receiver to power up the fan.

The real CC Blower has a very short wire that's to short.

If you wanted to you can route the wires out of site. Just pull the fan wires and plug through to the inside of shroud, then hold the wires down the side of the motor (inside of a row of fins at least three fins from edge of shroud) as you snap the fan shroud on the motor. Doing this leaves a small hole/air leak where the wire use to exit, I just hot glued mine closed.
