Questions?? Help with ESC fan
How do you wire a ESC fan to turn on and off with the main power switch on the car? My HPI Blitz is wired that way from the factory.

Thanks for your help.

Wire it to the positive and negative battery leads coming from the speed control.

Wouldn't it run whenever the battery was plugged in then?


Depending on the fan voltage, what about hooking it into the servo lead that goes to the receiver with a Y harness?

If I splice the fan wire to this, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXWGK4&P=0 Then plug that into my receiver that should work right?
