Yup! it sure does lower the temps on the motor easily due to force convection (w/ the use of fan). This is really a one cool innovation although the priciple is just a simple as that right guys?..

yer sure if you like using re-circulated hot air
get yourself a Ride air duct, simply a piece of lexan attached to your car which directs fresh air into the car while it is on the move
much better & much cheaper

Mine worked when it stayed on. The fan they use is pretty cheap though. There are 2 other guys that had them and their fans are broken (fins breaking, outer edge cracking).
Mine is totaly toast, fellow racer said "you gotta bend them a bit to make them fit snug" so he proceeded to bend it and then snap my heatsink and fan in half

XRAY cars have problems attaching fins to the motor due to the nature of not having enough rooms to do it.
I would suggest getting a similar fan only and stick it to your chassis while blowing your motor.
Hope it helps.
