It's getting old replacing my motor fan at 15-20 dollars a pop multiple times a year sucks.

Ive used multiple fan brands if you peel off the sticker they're wtf fans any changed to yeah racing and they stop working.

i need a fan with solder joint exposed so I can re solder them.

So they are wearing out not breaking? I broke a bunch of plastic fans, then switched to Surpass alloy ones and haven't broken one yet. This is on offroad dirt stock class racing. Never had a plastic one wear out in my onroad cars.

I buy them from Banggood, about US10 each

It's very important that you invest in a solid aluminum case fan, never busted a fan since going aluminum:

Hudy fans have the solder points exposed.
