Do you need 3 channels to power this? Like on a Flux? Does it turn on at a certain temp or run all the time? I'm intrigued, despite fan haters like Brian

It’s always better to reduce the heat generated in an electric power system is by better engineering than to try and cool things with fans and other gimmicks. Sure, a fan can get you a few degrees, but it is much better to have a superior design to begin with.
Contradiction?


Whats the flow rate of the fan?

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

There's a big difference between using a fan to make a hot, overgeared setup barely usable, and using a fan to keep a cool, properly geared setup even cooler.

Agreed, but some don't realize this...

If you have a batt port where bec or receiver pack plugs in and you are not using it you can run it in there.

You can run a fan off ANY unused port on a receiver.

They all have power for as long as your receiver has power.

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.
