Need better stronger fans for 1/8th off road.
Posted once again: Pic of guaranteed fan fix. I've not had a single fan failure since modding the case this way. Also, http://members.cox.net/manicrc/index_files/Page474.htm are great replacement fans. Stronger fan, shorter lead, correct plug, they work great. ManicRC here on the forum sells 'em.
