the fan mods do look great, but i dont need it for my trinity 4.5 @ 62/13 with no timing. comes off under 140 after 8-9 minutes
i dont have the rec box and i use to run a fan but it broke.they tend not to last to long imo.

Like I said, I talked to LRP and they said that the x12 motors have a bit better temperature accepting magnets in there motors.
im sure youre right with my concerns i just dont want to nuke motors.
