The fan DEFINATELY makes a difference. Have tried it several times, temp w/o a fan over 200, temp with a fan under 150. Motor doesn't fade, brushes last longer. I mounted a fan on my nerf wings, aimed at the motor.

I've got some brackets that mount to the motor clamp....i can blow the fan air directly onto the arm, and yeah, it seems to help. I'll try to post some pics of the bracket.

Does anyone know where I can find a chrome(titanium) color TRF Damper Shocks by tamiya?

The heatsink/fan looks nice, but also looks like it would raise the center of gravity, IMHO.

they seem to fall off too....AT my track some guy had one and it was falling out

Sorry man, they only have Red and Blue.

You might be able to use oven cleaner to take the anodizing off though for a silver finish...I don't know though.

BLue Will Do, Anyone know the cheapest place other than
$49.99 Off ebay? I would buy em used if someone has

Edit** Kevin U got em? what you think?

Also how much would a Used perfect cond AE threaded shocks go for w/ a set of springs?

I did the fan trick just as Barry Baker did I believe. Mounted by the ESC blowing directly on the endbell. HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! Can't say that enough. Mods rarely reach 140. After 7minute 19t races, motor temps at 120. AWESOME!!

I tryed doing that But I cant get the motor to Stay. Its like a 1/4inch wide So it barely Grips, All it wants to do is tip over....

what do you connect the Fan to?

I connected it to the battery input at the esc, you also can plug it into ch3 of the receiver. You will get more rpm if it is conn to the batt.

I recently got a tc3 team kit, and it has a graphite chassis and some other parts.

My question is that I want to get the version 2 arms for it with the droopscrews as the car I have does not have these arms?

I am wondering if they will work on my chassis? To me it does not look like the droop screws would touch the chassis?

if its graphite it should. If you look at chassis on top where diff cases go is there a little piece Sticken out ? the reg plastic chassis does not have these though

the second gen chassis are differnt. they have little ears on the side where the droop screws will hit on the new arms You really should update. you will not be able to get the car to hook up right. Droop plays a big part...

hope this helps!
