I got some question regarding our Fan Shrouds form my customers and fellow racers and like to use this thread to answer them for everyone on here.
Why are they only intended for 1/10 electric cars?
We designed the Fan Shrouds to work with Standard 30mm Fans and one is made to perfectly fit the WTF Windy.
We're currently not planning to release a 40mm version due to the ROAR rule that only 30mm Fans are allowed.
I know tat the WTF Windy has a larger Case than 30mm, but ROAR allowed the Fan to be used due to the Mounting Holes and the Impeller size.
Yes we are working on Fan Shrouds which will fit 1/10 and 1/8 electric off-road cars, but this will take some time.
What is the reason behind the design of the Directed Flow?
The Motor manufactures have changed the design of the Can extremely.
Some of the latest design don't even use a Can anymore and the front bell is fully open.
This allows that the Airflow can be directly channeled through the Can and lower the temps.
We tested our Open Flow Design with motors of the older and new design.
This revealed that we could improve the cooling for the lasted motors with channeling the airflow directly to the front and rear openings.
The outcome of this is the Directed Flow. It can be used with older design, but the improvement over the Open Design isn't as big as on the latest generation.
I hope I could answer the question I had received.
Thanks,
Denis

I would like to share costumer story about our Directed Flow Fan Shroud.
Last weekend Hector Martinez bought our Fan Shroud and the Temperature of his R1 V21 17.5 dropped from 182 to 157F.
He he told me that he’s more than happy about the performance and gained consistency.
BTW he is one of the fastest Stock racers at our track.

We tried different places to get them made the past 8 months, but none of them worked out the way we had planned.
Anyway we are making them our self now.
