Default Barry Baker's car

Hi guys,

I'm looking for pictures of barry Baker's car at the reedy race. I heared that he had a fan in order to keep his motor cool. So I wonder how he installed it.
If someone has any pictures can you send E-mail me at :
[email protected]

Thanks

Propably had a really small fan (you can get them at Radio Shack) and hooked up the wires to the reciever where the rx pack would plug in for power. I ran one on my Yokomo SD, it is only really necissary if you are running in real high temp conditions.

It's worth a shot, just hard to make space for it in a lot of todays cars...

Very True, even with all the tiny wiz bang electronics we have today.

I have a feeling on Barrys car the fan will be facing the endbell. The reason I used the fan was more to blow the hot air from the motor away from my ESC. It will cool the motor a hair, but there really isn't much air created by the fan. You could also make an air scoop which would help just as much at high speed. I did both on my SD.
