How do you power multiple fans for esc + motor
im looking at getting two fans 1 to cool my esc and 1 to cool my motor in my tt01 i have a 12 turn so it gets pretty hot but i only have 1 free slot on my esc to put 1 fan power cord into. i was thinking i do have the tamiya LED light unit power board and it looks like a fans connector could fit into there but would the power output by the LED unit be enough and will this work?

If you want to keep the look clean... Traxxas sells a nice one that's only 3.5" long. It's used on the Revo (I think). Sorry, I don't have a part number.

i would direct solder them to the pos & neg of the esc, that way you know the fans are getting there power directly from the battery. if you want to keep soldering to a minimal, just solder 1 pair to esc then use a y-harness to allow both fans be used. I use 2 x 5v fans, 40mm fan mounted on my upper fram directing air to the top of motor, then i have a 25mm fan mounted on my mamba max's heatsink, both direct soldered to the pos & neg batt tabs of the esc...
