Will the blower work on a non-finned original Neu 1515 motor?

I would say it's more about the voltage rating. The plug can be easily changed, but you are stuck powering the fan at the specified voltage. I would guess it's a 5V fan so it can run directly off of the receiver though, and it would follow that they would use a standard RX/servo connector. I don't see why it would be anything else than 5V.

Damnit, upon closer inspection it looks like there is no way this will work/fit with the Flux from the chassis and motor mount design. Damn!

I like it, even though I think you guys took the idea from my avatar, lol. Next time I'm getting a patent. Fans are the only thing that have been keeping my 7xl from thermalling on every run, but ya in those cases they seem to only mask the problem of an inefficient motor. Ever since I pulled it out and converted it to a Castle 2200 I havent had to check temps any more and I just dont care. The Castle motor is leagues ahead in efficiency and power.

My CC Blower came in the mail today. I have to go shoot darts right now but I'll post pics and some first impressions when I get home later.

Yes PLEASE do! You know I'm really curious about these.

I would like to see something a little better than that "cartoon" picture they have. LOL

Allright, here is the new CC Blower!

It is made of all plastic (seems pretty sturdy), so it's only a fan and shroud, no heatsink. The plug is a standard servo plug with red/black wires (no signal wire of course). The wire is a bit smaller gauge than standard servo wire, would have been nice to have a little bit thicker wire.

The shroud over the fan seems to have an intake of sorts, almost like the blower on the hood of a hot-rod. The top of the fan is open so I'm not sure how functional this intake will be, but maybe there is a reason Castle put it on there. If you look at the way the plastic case is shaped it almost looks like they were trying to make it look like a V8 engine (could just be my imagination though)

The fan uses a DC brushless motor. It's rated for 5V and will draw 140mA at that voltage. The fan model number is YM0503PVS1. It has a small logo on the label but I'm not familiar with it, maybe someone can make it out in the picture.

Now I just have to get my E-revo back together so I can actually test this thing!

the shroud could be made of aluminum so heat would be dissipated better :(
