CC Blower now on sale!

Does anyone know the dimensions of the fan? Can it be removed to replace if the fans spoils?

[needforspeed]

OK, its about 60* outside and I just got back in from my 2nd test run,My temps were 160-175 running in grass (trigger happy) Now with the blower, I max out at 115 and I cant get it any hotter.These temps don't seem realistic. I am using on-board telemetry and a temp gun. So far I love this thing.I am going to do some more testing to confirm these numbers,like I said (unrealistic)

I think someone said it's the same fan that is used in the MMM. Shouldn't be any problems replacing it.

I really wish this could fit on my Flux

That fan run off your input leads (on 4s) should do nicely. No idea how long it will last at your epic bashing spot, but it'll work.

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 .

[rchippie]

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.

Ermm, a few things:

1. If it was made from cast or machined alloy, it would cost $$$ to produce given its complicated 3D shape.

2. The little 'grooves' are on top of the air intake, then wouldnt make the slightest difference to cooling; the blower is designed to act as a shroud around the motor so that the air is forced down through the cooling fins built into the motor itself, then exit at the bottom where the shroud stops.

3. Thats a CAD rendering of the design, it isnt ment to be photo realistic nor show the material, its just a picture to show what it looks like.

4. You have a valid point about the power wires being too short, though a .50cent rx extension lead, or .05cents worth of old wire could be used to extend them as required (welcome to the wonderful world of hobby grade r/c; customization and problem solving skills required...).

5. If you did a little research before ordering, or just asked even, then on page 3 of this 6 page thread, you would have seen a full review, including photos and a detailed description. Or you could have asked Castle via phone or email.

Sorry you feel robbed, but its a $12 fan & shroud that cools your motor a bit, not a liquid nitrogen cooling rig- it still works doesnt it? If it were broken or didnt make any difference to your temps, then you could complain...

Get a better motor and/or use it appropriately. No need for a fan or any kind.
