Default motor fan stops when on full throttle

Hi, I've got a big fan on my heatsink, and when I'm on 80%+ throttle, the fan stops. I assume the motor is drawing the required amount of power leaving nothing for the fan.

Fan is hooked up to battery directly, and I dont want to run off the receiver.

how can I fix this?

will a capacitor help? my speed control already has a cap on it already, will another help?
