Just from comments on here I thought it would be a good idea to have one on the motor. I was a little worried about speed control and motor temps but they are not really an issue with a fan. I run 10 min practice heats without issue. Granted I am not running full out crazy for that time but my set-up is working for me.

I built the truck with a fan installed. I needed weight on the electronics side to off-set battery weight so why not add a fan.

Not sure on the software version, it is updated as of May 15th so probably the latest version? Pretty much stock settings except for the timing is set to 30*, no punch control, no throttle profile changes, no drag brake, reverse is turned off, 50% brake power (probably should be turned up a bit) Im running the Airtronics MX3X radio, 92744 rx, and XP ds1015 servo. Temps after a 8min main on a high bite track with 16/62 gearing were 130 on the motor and 135 on the esc.
