May be true but at least with a 15mm fan with a smooth surface I can mount it with tape on the T4 theirs not really a good spot to mount a bracket to hold the motor

SPR fan moves 4.06CFM I believe. I dunno guys have run many different fans at our track and everyone through testing all different fans of different companies agrees this works the best.

We like this one and the muchmore one here. But for some reason the black Yeah racing one seems to be better than the "coloured" ones......

Tornado has my vote. Running off of receiver is more than enough cooling. Like a previous poster said watching that youtube video sold me. Untill I see either brands doing a video actually showing what a 25mm or 30mm fan can do, I will stick with the Tornado.

Will this run on 8.4v? The Yeah Racing Tornado is the best at that voltage since the Delta's have disappeared, but I'm always looking for something better.

Never tried it off the battery due to being 5V.

I run it off the receiver which is 6V.
Everytime someone has pointed out how much air their fan shifts I just show them the NMB fan and they realise they wasted their money

If you can find a decent dist. instead of a model shop etc it should be pretty cheap (less than half the cost of a Much More fan here)

Skiddins

That would indeed be a bummer

yes there is.

Look on the bulkhead, there is a tapped screw hole spare behind the motor. Put a grub screw in here and then attach a servo post to it.

Fix the fan to the post and you will have the best possible fixing for your fan. Incredibly neat, tidy, strong and light!

wow - thanks for all of the love and support guys. i just stumbled across this thread.

with nearly 500 seis fans sold this year... i think that speaks volumes.

That fan you listed from Digi-key in the US is $11.60, I'll stick with my Much More for only $10.95 from Nexus Racing as it is smaller and easy to fit on your chassis at 25mm x 25mm.

I've got the Yeah Racing tornado fan, R1 wurks fan, and the Tekin Rx8 fan. The Yeah racing is the best for cooling a motor of the ones I have. I'll be trying the seis fan once/if the Yeah racing goes out. Not impressed with the R1 wurks

Skiddins

The 40mm is usually fitted to a heatsink, so instead of just cooling one side of the motor it is a little more even.
It will also shift a hell of a lot more air than any 25mm fan.

But if a 25mm is easier to fit for you then fine.

Skiddins

P.S. I meant less than half the price of Much More's 40mm fan, not 25mm

Hello guys,

I got myself two strong 40mm fans to cool down my boosted 10.5t motor in the coming summer races. I plan to put one in front and one behind the motor. Now I am unsure how I should direct the airflow to the motor. Normally I have one fan blowing air towards the motor.


(ignore the motortype)

Do you think it will be more effective to have one fan blow and the other suck the air (away from motor in direction of travel) or to have both blowing towards the motor?

I think two fans is overkill ... Cause if your motor is that hot your speedo will probably thermal too..

You want both blowing at the motor. Make sure they are 8mm from the motor...
