Hey guys, just dropped a new 3.1 stock spec esc into my AE B5. Wired it up, calibrated it and adjusted all my settings to my liking. So far, so good.
But the fan turns on the instant the ESC is powered up and does not shut off.
Looked through all the parameters on the program card and couldn't find anything to make any adjustments.
Is something wrong with the ESC, or is there something I'm overlooking? Or, is it just supposed to be this way. The fan is loud and I'd rather not have it running all the time.
Also, would it be safe to run without the fan, do you think, and if so, down to what turn motor?
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, guys, but just to be clear: I'm talking about a 3.1 Stock Spec. I also have a regular 3.1 in my 4wd and the fan does not come on until the ESC gets hot and calls for it. The stock spec fan comes on as soon as you power it up.

So next question: Does anyone have a part # for a replacement fan so I can have a spare on hand in case it dies on me again?

Wow. My mistake. Seems like the fan in my 4wd (the 120a 3.1) was broken and that's why it wasn't running. Swapped the stock spec fan in and lo and behold - it runs all the time. Which is a great testament to the HW esc's since I have been running the 4wd buggy hard and it's not overheating even with no working fan.

I dunno 48 hours since my email. Not even an auto response. Do they have a customer service dept?
Hate to miss another race, pizza feast was a bust, think they have a 68 day turn around? So I can atleast make rumble in the rockies?
